Phil, it would be the same for M8 and M9 of course.
Leica Camera just says "* *Some of the SUMMILUX-M 35mm/f1.4 models (built
from1961-1995, non-aspherical, Made in Canada). That doesn't narrow it down
for you much except that is only the pre-aspherical model.
I don't think that there are is a definite serial number range since the
numbers are allocated in batches and not perfectly sequential production.
Not every user reports a problem with the infinity focus and I know that
some owners have trial fit and filed down the baffle for themselves. Not
that I would recommend that, personally. But maybe a competent repair person
could give you an estimate?
 Cheers
