Thats really quite strange, thats definitely an LCIII board, but no LCIII was ever sold with anything less than a 25 Mhz 68030, and yes, thats definitely a 16 Mhz '030, otherwise it'd have a MC68030FE25B.

I dunno, the only thing I can think of is that Apple did a limited production run of 16 Mhz 68030s in one country because it would have cost too much to sell 25 Mhz LCIIIs there....thats really the only thing I can think of. Apart from the fact that it has the 16 Mhz chip, the board certainly looks identical to a regular production board.
