Comment Also 4955-700 and 4955-710. After the 4950 (ET22) this was the 2nd Dietrich Lubs/ Dieter Rams construction. The first Braun model, type 4954 (ET11) is not a Lubs/Rams construction but was made by Omron. (Information thanks to Peter Muckermann and Shinichiro Osaki).
There's various contradicting information about the ET22/ET23 and 4950/4955 (700/710) type units and how they can be recognized. So I'm not really sure what I've got here.
It seems that there are versions 4950/ET22, 4955-700/ET22, a 4955/ET23 (see above) and a  4955-710/ET23 (see above).
