It's the only one I have seen in real life, though all that equipment was optional. This tractor has no pto or belt pulley which is sort of unusual too.  It was a grey market tractor so it may've originally been headed for an area where these options were more common before it was, shall we say, "diverted."

I'm trying to remember (not always easy) if the Super A became a Super
A without a HP increase? I seem to recall that the Super C did not get
a HP boost from the C. Am I recalling that right? If so were there any
others that became "Super" without a HP boost. The Super M was a fair
jump from the M and had some other additions as well. Three were a
bigger clutch and a bigger radiator and a better gear spread.
Eventually the disk brakes, live hydraulics.
We had a neighbor that had bought one of the very early  Super M's
new. It had more engine and was tagged "S - M" but it had the old
brakes and belly hydraulic pump. I do not recall if it had the
transmission changes or the bigger clutch and radiator.
