Granted these catalogues are prior to the 201 being made.

I have seen the 201K on the 60s style aluminum models, but never on the cast iron machines. However, I had seen the occasional "201-", and usually on a cast iron 201 with belt drive machine common to Canada and Europe. which lead to my conclusion that it must be a foreign model designation.
