I think that this is the first time that I have had to ask for this, but what is the regular model number (ie. R30, R40, A30, etc.), versus the full model/type number. Normally, we get the vague information and have to ask for the full information, like the 1836-QQU....

My question would be: What exactly is printed on the modules (i.e., part number, manufacturer, etc.)?
