There was a difference, OTOH, I got a older box and rotator that had been
modified to the newer standard. In my case, it was documented.

Is that true? What about the series I and Series II rotors? Didn't they
have a slightly different wiring?

This is, indeed, a Ham-M control box. It can be used with the Ham series of
rotators, since they are all pretty much identical electrically.
CATS has a history page about the CDE series of rotators -

You should be able to find a schematic for both the HAM-M and Ham-II
rotators on the BAMA archive.
