Thank you for you willingness to do this! It might be enough just to
install Qubes onto a USB drive, boot from it, and run qubes-hcl-report.

I think qubes-hcl-report automatically gets the model number in most
cases.

Good question. I think the reports would still be somewhat useful,
since at least anyone who is considering acquiring model X will be
able to see the HCL report for model X before acquiring it. However,
HCL reports for newer models are likely to be more useful than ones
for older models, unless the older models are particularly popular for
some reason.
