Title: IBM 6110347 $75 shipped (most likely a F122)

Model M on the label, but a model F part number, and the label looks to be on a black metal back like all the model F122 boards.

and here are two other auctions for the same part number, also oddly cheap, that have labels specifying they are model F's

The label mentions it was "converted from another part number" so maybe it was serviced by "CELTECH" and re-labled.

6110347 is a Model F part number, and maybe by 1989 the refurbisher thought that the "Model M" mark would have a bigger market recognition.

$70 shipped for missing keys and damaged case and $97 shipped for a complete specimen might be a bit "low" but not "oddly low" considering how many of these have hit the market in recent weeks.

It's when I see things like this amiss that I wonder how much these have been molested before being put up for auction...
