From an email received after this list went up I once worked for Mother M in Canada so am familiar still with some of the. Particularly the older C and M prefixes indicated Canadian made models or kits. Toronto factory. C indicated that it was something identical to the same thing made by M in USA. M indicated that it was very similar but had some sort of difference to it. Canadian spec requirements, for example so. CTLN1. 23. 4A is identical to a TLN1. A but a MTLN1. 23. The transition from 1 to 2 letter country prefixes happened in the mid to late 1. Then the 2 letter prefixes took over and there is a very long list of them that I. I think. that the AC and MB prefixes probably have similar meanings to the older C and M. They do however, both indicate Canadian source. Another very rare single letter prefix is S, used in Canada, to indicate a Special. These were usually very low production volume for customer special system requirements. Products with S prefix would only be found in Canada for Canadian customers. The. Special could be anything from a simple mod to a ground up unique design.
