McCulloch Super 10-10?

[Rotax Steve]

Hoping someone can help figure out if this 10-10 that I'm parting out is actually a Super 10-10. The tag says 60005, which is a Super 10-10 but this has a left side starter and the model profile shows the Super is a right hand starter. Did they make them with both options?
Also, I've worked on a few McCulloch's and with this saw, it's the first time (I think it's the first time) the crank is standard thread on both sides and the clutch has a keyway.
And what makes it Super?
I'll stop on my questions right now because I've got too many. Any knowledge and experience would be very helpful. Thanks.
Steve

If you're going off the picture on acresinternet it may not be accurate.

There is a video of a Super 10-10 on youtube from 7 years ago showing a Super 10-10 with left hand start.

In fact left hand start may be what makes it "Super."

The 1969 IPL shows a RH start, Serial numbers B11- A12, 13.



The 1971 IPL shows a left hand start, keyed clutch, and the RH clutch nut. I think the keyed clutch/crankshaft and RH nut were carryovers from the RH start saws.





McCulloch was great at marketing, the only Super that was really special was the Super 250. As far as I know, there was nothing different or special about the Super 10-10.

Ok, now I have a new fold in my identifying dilemma. I just want to run this by you guys and get my thoughts confirmed.
Looking closer at the ID tag and holding it in the right light - it looks like the last model number has wiped off and it was a "2" (600052) making it 7-10A. Do these photos look that way to you? So I went ahead and broke the block and sure enough the cylinder bore is 2 inches.
Please let me know if my final analysis is correct

Model 600052 Serial 10- should have the lever operated compresson release.



The stop switch is also the compresson release.



That would be an early 7-10 model.
