Subject: [Leica] Pradovit Color model numbers

I'm trying to sort out a confusion about the identification of the various
Pradovit Color projectors, basically to find out whether I've been
short-changed on an eBay purchase.

There were 4 models made back in the 1970s (more or less), with model
numbers starting 31.058....

31.058.500    Pradovit Color [base model - what I think I somebody sold me
on eBay]
31.058.550    Pradovit Color Autofocus [confirmed by a helpful person on a
newsgroup]
??.???.???    Pradovit Color 250
??.???.???    Pradovit Color 250 Autofocus [which I thought I was buying]

Can anybody fill in the missing bits, and/or confirm that what I already
have is correct?

The model number is on the metal plate underneath the lens. I believe they
may also be shown in the Leica catalogues of the time (which I don't
have). Unfortunately they are not shown in the German manual, which I do
have (it covers the whole range).

Externally these projectors are pretty near identical, except for the
plate on the side (mine says "Pradovit Color").
