I'm about to assemble an Model F XT which I bought as a parts donor. What I saw is that the label is different from any other F I saw on the internet. It has a black label with only the IBM logo. Was there any "black label" Fs out there like on some later Model Ms? The label looks quite professional and well spaced. The keyboard is originally an AZERTY one and I would try to convert it to german QWERTZ using some M keycaps.

Someone put a black IBM sticker over the original inset metal IBM personal computer badge. If you look closely, the black sticker is crooked. The left edge is slightly lower than the right. Check if the black sticker is flush with the silver badge.
