Yeah, that was my issue as well…

I'm suspecting that it is: 
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fradiall.applixia.net%2Fcatalogue%2Fresource%3Fpath%3DCATEGORY%2Fpdf%2FVFO%2520D6104CE.pdf&ei=LHFJT4nZFa2v0AG8ssmkDg&usg=AFQjCNGRQw2oSttW1h_ZPvw8uczbD0q1Ow&sig2=aviG4ftT3ojZIxxM_cJ0hg

which looks very similar to an FC, but is apparently different…

I've never actually seen one of these in the wild…
