The Leica manual claims to be for the MR-2 and MR, and treats >them as identical (and they look identical, too). There are NO meters engraved 'MR-4'. All of these, whether MR or MR-4, were simply engraved, 'MR'. Or, at least, Leica did not so distinguish them (same catalogue number), nor does any of the literature indicate that any were engraved 'MR-4'. And I've never seen such or heard of one so engraved. And I've seen what is probably the largest meter collection in the world (Dan Black's) and have discussed these meters with the owner of what is probably the second largest, General Moss.
