The NAMC’s “Catalog of all Series Matchbox Models” (first edition) only has one entry for this model (and Nick's got that one listed)!
The AIM “1-75 Series Regular Wheels” catalogue (second printing, 1983) lists a variation at 65-3-c as which has a "brighter red body". This would be a variant on Nick's code 4 and I'm wondering whether it could reflect the Superfast era model. Can someone please check the contents of a "go faster" style box against a standard RW issue?
Neither Stannard nor Houghton has any variations not already listed by Nick, and U.K. Matchbox never covered the model

Hi Hugh
I am enclosing a photo with brighter red combine harvester

I have mentioned yet, just to remember, some unlisted variations.

Based on the box, is it from the RW or the Superfast era?

Sorry, I can not identify the model in time, the model was without the box

Can someone with an open step or no hole base (or both) please let me know if it has protrusions as shown in Diecast's post above, Thanks.

Nick i checked three open steps combines...all have the hole in the base...just one has the protrusions and the other two do not

Nick,
2 open step combines with hole in the base- both no protrusions.
1 closed step combine without hole in the base- no protrusions
2 open step combines without hole in the base- 1 with and 1 without protrusions.
