Olympus Model Number CF-Q260DL?

Re: "Description... Olympus XQ260 variable stiffness video colonoscope": It is more likely that this is an Olympus CF-Q260DL than an Olympus XQ260 for the following reasons:

1. At https://www.olympus-europa.com/medical/en/medical_systems/hidden/download_jsp.jsp?link=/medical/rmt/media/content/content_1/documents_1/brochures_1/EVIS_LUCERA_GIF-XQ260__product_brochure_001_V1-en_GB_20000101.pdf, the Olympus XQ260 is described as a "Gastrointestinal Videoscope." Its working length is only 1030 mm, which is rather short for a colonoscope. The scope pictured is at least 1500 mm long.
2. At https://www.olympus.co.uk/medical/en/medical_systems/hidden/download_jsp.jsp?link=/medical/rmt/media/content/content_1/documents_1/brochures_1/Evis_Lucera_GIF-260_Series__operation_manual_001_V1-en_GB_20000101.pdf, the company states "Use the EVIS LUCERA GASTROINTESTINAL VIDEOSCOPE... GIF-XQ260... for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery within the upper digestive tract (including the esophagus, stomach and duodenum)."
3. Under the yellow triangle in the photo, the model number appears to be "CF-Q260DL." At https://www.olympus.co.uk/medical/en/medical_systems/hidden/download_jsp.jsp?link=/medical/rmt/media/content/content_1/documents_1/brochures_1/EVIS_LUCERA_CF-Q260DL_I__product_brochure_001_V1-en_GB_20000101.pdf, the Olympus CF-Q260DL/I is described as a colonovideoscope.
