My first Apple ][+ machines were Rev06 MB and had the memory config
blocks.  My blocks were 16K because the machines had 48K plus the 16K
Language card.  

So, the 16k memory config blocks do NOT mean an original II versus II+.
It probably does mean that the II's at the time were available as Integer
II or Applesoft II+ machines - same MB, just different ROMs.
