I have seen several references to a 500C/M "Late" model. I know that
Hasselblad went to a crank winder as standard on later models of the
500C/M. Is there anything else that distinguishes a given 500C/M as a
"Late" model?


The way the trim curves round the camera ready signal window: round on the
old model, more angular on the later model.
The tripod quick shoe and lower magazine hooks: two quite separate things on
the old model, one metal part, running as a fork from underneath the tripod
shoe to the hooks on the late model.
The molding/surface of the rear baffles: hard to describe though.

Not all changes will have been made at the same time.
The cable hook hole on the camera's left side, for instance, disappeared
before other changes were made.


Thanks for the information. I've looked through some old catalogs now
and I can see the difference although it's a little like the kid's
puzzle where four of the the six dogs are slightly different. It
appears that another change is the addition to later models of the
shutter pre-release/mirror lock-up button under the winder knob.

Not so.
All 500 C(...) models have that button, though it was a bit shorter (and
perhaps harder to see) on earlier models.
;-)
