Subject: [Leica] M6 Engraving

I've just bought a black M6. It's seen a lot of use, but it's in good shape.
I didn't realize, until after I'd had it for a day, that the front was only
engraved M6, in large type, not Leica M6. Its serial number is 1743837, so
it's obviously not one of the first models. The back is engraved LEICA GMBH
GERMANY, and the red roundel reads Leica. Anyone know why this variation
came about?
