I'm ChrisB.
This has been churning around in my mind for days now!
However, I'm pretty certain that you're correct - the M20 was from a partially overlapping range that ran concurrently with the Planets range.
There was an M20 in a vinyl skin and an M20 Gold in a real tree flavour. They had a black coloured ring on the tweeter faceplates and the woofers were translucent.
The Mercury 2's and S's had tweeters with ribbed faceplates and a black coloured bass driver
Found some dates on the w's:
M20 - 1984-86
M20 Gold - 1986-89
Mercury - 1982-86
Mercury Mk II - 1986-88
.........but I could be wrong too!
