The book by Ludwig Olson, Mauser Bolt Rifles, Third Edition, lists all the Patterns for the various models of Sporter Mausers, with Type M as follows;

Carbines, Type M*

*Many Type B rifles and Type M carbines were made in caliber .30-'06 for the American market.

Pattern No. 270
Double set trigger, standard and two-leaf rear sight.

Pattern No. 271
Same as No. 270, but with telescopic sight.

Pattern No. 272
Same as No. 270, but with military-type single trigger.

Pattern No. 274

Hope this is helpful. Ludwig Olsons book is a good reference for anyone interested in the Mauser rifle both military and sporter versions.
