This is the second version of that camera, with a different meter, viewfinder and top plate than the first, and the only one of the two to be known in the literature with the optional "matic" suffix. It's more likely to be referred to by the 10.xxx number, too, but it didn't appear on it and I don't have a ZI catalogue to hand to remind me of the number (I find the 10.xxx ones far less memorable than the 5xx/24 type for some reason).
