How to tell an M from an H

I'm almost embarassed to admit I don't know
how to tell an M from an H from a distance...
The deal is thus, Model Railroader has an
article in their current issue with tractors on a
flatcar. Pretty cool, I like tractors and trains.

Problem #1 they say put a little blob of white to
indicate its a model "M", well, if you put a little
blob of white it makes it look like a Super to
begin with, and besides theres plenty of
space to put a small decal "M" or "H" for that
matter if you wanted.

Problem #2 they then say to put a little strip of
white for where the "Farmall" decal would be.
Then they proceed to show it in a picture, but
its wrong, way too far forward and low, which
also makes the blob in problem #1 in the
wrong place.

Problem #3 The models they have really look
like supers, kinda. Theres no battery box
under the gas tank, and from what I can make
out of the seat it looks like the later Super
style.

Problem #4, They then put some colors on the
side that are just, well wierd. Like a strip of
yellow on what I'd guess is the oil filter
cannister. I suppose that makes sense, but I
can't figure it to be that prominent. Then they
don't paint the seat silver... Wierd.

Problem #5 I don't think the author has any
idea when the tractors were made or how with
just a few mods he could make the cars very
time specific. I think I could pretty easily make
a little battery box for under the tank and then
obscure the seat a little and call it an M and
make it earlier, then with a little cream color
on the grill call it a 400 and make it much
later....

Anyhow I plan on writing a little note, but
wanted my H vs M ducks in a row before I did.
