Default Telefunken Magnetophon Partysound line information

Does anybody know which models came in Telefunken Magnetophon Partysound line of portable cassette players?
IMHO they came out in 1972(?) with notched brown wood imitation top grille and fancy chrome-plated buttons and panels (pictured).
They also were available as "R" version with built-in AM/FM tuner.
Later in 1974 they were redesigned to "M Partysound 201" or simply "201" with "R" version as well, with Stereo and Chrome type autoswitch(?), so I guess the early ones (like the one pictured below) were mono?
Later they were decontented to plain plastic.
This is as much I could find on the web...

They look suspiciously like "Grundig" to me

A search of Radiomuseum may give you some answers.

Kind of a similarity here to the Philips N2506 where the chrome buttons and slider are concerned..
