Info: Although my version is holding a CS-30B Label (Black colored),
we must conclude this is probably a CS-31A milestone machine, since it's supporting a PCB with very early Bi-Polar IC's from MITSUBISHI.
Probably the first calculator supporting these IC's.
A big thanks to Rick from THE OLD CALCULATOR MUSEUM, pointing this out.
