 Attempting to identify a Noblet Eb clarinet

Hello, all!

I am attempting to identify an Eb soprano clarinet I've had in my possession for several years. It has a Noblet (Paris) logo with the serial number A93630. Using some of the serial # listings on the web, this would place the instrument's manufacture at about 1979, but I am unsure as to whether those listings applied to Eb instruments as well as Bb. The body is a single piece, with a separate barrel and bell, although the bell seems to be made of plastic rather than the grenadilla or whatnot of the body.

I've toyed around with the instrument here and there, but I haven't a decent mouthpiece/ligature setup for an Eb so I haven't been able to come up with a decent description of the instrument itself. I've attached pictures of the instrument and logo in hopes that someone with more knowledge than I might be able to help me figure out the model number and whatnot of the instrument. I appreciate it!

It looks to me like the Eb equivalent of the Model 40 Bb.
This is a step below the Model 45 "Artist" equivalent which would I am sure at this period have still used the diamond logo and of course would have all joints made of wood.
