hi,

There are two versions. One for the sm leica's and one for the bm leica's.
If yours work in the M2 they will work in the other M's also.
I actually use them in my M6's. But the later M6's have a new baseplate 
which can't open the cassette any more. I changed the baseplate of one 
of my M6's with the one of a M4-P. No problems now. I guess the same 
will apply for he MP and the M7.

Cheers,
