Graphophone BM serial numbers

I think that with the BM, Columbia started the serial number from very low, specific to this model. Does anyone have a BM? I'd be interested in the serial numbers as I was quite surprised to see that mine is 196. I presume that with BM's, Columbia must have began numbering of this model with 1, or 100?. I'm used to 5 or 6 figure serial numbers with Graphophone cylinder machines. (ok, except GG, HG, SG & a few other later models)
thanks

Mine has a very unusual 2/4 min attachment, which goes where the ID tag used to be.
So I have no idea what the number is.
Doesn't appear to be any other place on the machine where a serial # was stamped.
Anyone ever see this combination attachment on any other machine?
You can see the complete machine here:
