[SEL] Famous/Osborn questions

I'm not sure about that the Nonpareil is an Osborne sold IHC or not.
I only know that I found some very small original traces of blue paint.
Some people tell that it might be a German built IHC. Who can tell the
diffrence?

Also does an Osborne have any other specific things that make it different
to an "normal" IHC?
Does an Osborne have a diffrent tag?

I guess this makes more questions than answers;-)
