Right, been snooping around some more, and I found these pictures.
I think it's safe to say that they were familiar with Model 15 machines.
Also I found a few images of another S4M. They're not great pictures, but maybe it will give you some more information
also, in case you want to know what site I'm checking, it's the E-commerce site I mentioned in a previous message.

Bigger, the button holer is close to the size of an electric razor. I have forgotten the size of the ZZ.I don't have pictures handy.
Some of the button holers use different cams to shape the holes.

It appears there is a Super IV M and then there is a Super M IV. The M IV appears to have been a treadle. I agree that they would be straight stitch machines of the 15 class. (The 15 clones, would have the tension on the face plate and the same body type as the 15 domestic machines.) Both are similar to some of the Morse 600s. It seems that there were a few versions of the Morse 600. All very similar, with just slight differences in the stitch length regulator. There is a threading diagram for the Morse 600 at http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diag...ng_Diagram.htm Of course, the nose/face plate is a different shape, but the rest of the machine looks right. I'm fairly certain that the Morse machines would have been made in Japan. They will probably have a J-A and/or a J-C with a number. It could be stamped, embossed or cast into the base of the machine.
The class 15 machines would use regular low shank feet and class 15 bobbins.
I believe the Selecto would be a Bernina 540-2 Favorit. It would take different feet than the IV M and M IV
