Seem to be the same and like you said very little information from BeselerI was unaware that some condensers did not have the filter draw. For most (?) users, I suspect that is not a problem. Thanks for the info.
Is the MXR the same as the MCRX? I am not familiar with either.

I think the X stands for the diagonally supporting arms in the back. Looks like my enlarger went from an MXR to a MCRX and I am using it a fair amount of times now that fall & winter are here and finally get darkness
Ollinger's guide linked above mentions model MXC. But my enlarger is marked MCX. Whatever...
Well the black condenser head from my 45MXT will fit the 45M (with the forward bracing). I've swapped the lamp units around a time or two. The 45M came with an early cold light, but got a 45s Dichroic head when I was feeling generous (and fed up with Multigrade performance). The 45MXT uses a 45s most of the time.
I keep the condenser head around because I can put some sort of bulb in it if both the 45s units die.
I hadn't realized that the condenser could be installed below the 45s. Presumably just a collar to allow the 45s diffuser to sit on the top of the condenser cylinder. Would the combination still need to be raised for smaller formats, I wonder? Though the combination with the 45s head is plenty tall enough already.
The 45s has three diffusion boxes for either 4x5, 6x7, or 35mm. The condenser adapter is different and has its own spacer/collar as mshchem mentioned.
Until now, I figured I was the only person that had one.
