The separating factor is that these LC III + machines have the body of a normal LC III but the front is rounded. It looks like the front of a Quadra 605 but not the top, back, bottom or sides. The floppy opening is like the 605. Shaped differently and having the black plastic door. The badge only said LC III, but was like a badge on the Quadra 605, glued in like badges you see on a 6100 or 7200/7300, etc. They're REAL. <sob> I KNOW THEY ARE.....
