McCulloch 2-10, 4-10 or what is it?

Hi all,
I have a mystery saw here hoping to identify it. Numbers underneath 11B and 420. I was thinking a 2-10 but from all the pictures I can find they did not have the spark plug wire come out the cylinder cover like this one. Also the air cleaner cover I'm not sure is correct. It has the reed style muffle underneath. Purchased for $10 with seized starter that I cleaned up. Might even run. Any help to identify greatly appreciated. It's going to get taken apart and painted soon. Thanks in advance!

The gas cap leads me to believe it’s a homelite. Lol
I think someone drilled that hole for the plug wire.

You’ll find more help in the McCulloch sticky. Piglosi is correct, the plug wire hole has been added. From the pictures I would say flat muffler + RH start + Super tank/air box = Super 10-10.

Many thanks, I can't seem to narrow this one down exactly -I don't do Macs. From what I see the 2-10, 4-10 and 10-10 are all 54cc, same stroke and bore. The post 1971 10-10 has red kill switch not that this isn't bastardized but what are the stamped numbers all about? I do see some flash around the drilled hole so I am assuming the past owner didn't like the wire rubbing on the exhaust. I have some nicer Mace 700's that are near mint but this one just bothers me for a teardown and paint project for some reason not that I don't have enough projects. Thanks again!

The Mike Acres site has some mistakes, the 4-10 and 5-10 are some of them. They are actually 70cc (2.00” bore). The 4-10 is a 5-10 without a DSP. The flat muffler will not fit on a 1/2/3-10. You have a Super 10-10.
