serial number is F5213CVM0001WP if that tells you something.
Well, it could be either. The 512k was released in Sep. of 1984, and the 128k was sold until October of 1985, and your machine was manufactured in May/June. Decoding of these old serial numbers is something I like to do. Here is some info on yours:

F: Fremont, Calif. (manufacture plant)

5: 1985 (year on manufacture)

21: 21st manufacturing week of the year (May/June)

M0001WP: Europen model number (same for the 512k and 128k)

Yours is going to be a tuff cookie to crack. I'm going to continue looking further into this.
