Got pics? The //e was introduced in January of 1983 -- and by bigger,
I assume you're referring to the resin case they initially came in vs.
the latter plastic cases. They were the same size but the resin cases
had a few extra reinforcement points in the interior, and the keyboard
(with Apple /// style keyboard) made it look chunkier.

The more I read, the more I think you have a custom  machine, or
someone may have put a //e in a clone case or by long shot, you may
have found a seed machine.
