It's more than just the full wrap handle. The bracket connecting the top is different as well. The full wrap is swept back just a hair more.
As far as the logo goes, hold in on that piece and remove the two screws, twist the piece clockwise add's more spring tension on the recoil, twist the piece counter clockwise and that removes tension on the recoil spring. A half of a turn wont make a difference and you get the logo the right way.

I acquired this big beast today, starts and runs mint just had to unblock the oiler. The sticker on the starter cover has worn off and I can't see anything stamped anywhere to indicate what model or CC it is, anyone have any idea? Oleomac is all I can figure. Has some torque to it, tries to rotate in my hands when I pull the throttle.

Looks, to me, like a 999F, the largest model they made. 103cc and 6.7hp. Nice score!

No pics yet so advance apologies... I said I'd stop buying after I found the 441, but a mate told me about an old chap that was selling his tools after heart surgery. Who am I to turn down a rummage in a well filled garage?
034 and 039, 80€ each. I walked off with the 039, I'll get the other when I have some cash in my wallet. I did whip off the muffler and check the piston...

The 039 looks clean and under used as you can see from the very intact labels. Not tried to start it yet. The 034 has a little scoring on the piston but good compression on the cord. Started 3rd pull but has been out of use so long that the chain is too stiff to go round the bar..

Both look to be fairly low hour, little worked saws- nice.The 039 looks clean and under used as you can see from the very intact labels. Not tried to start it yet.

Soak the chains in a container of diesel for a while and they should clean/loosen back up.
Give the bars a good cleaning and dress any burrs on the rails, put them aside until you check out the powerheads fully.

Same year as I am, and has history. Used to belong to the wife of a Nobel prize winner, ran around Africa in it. Anyway, back to the saws... 
I learned to climb with Super EZ's, back in the 70's. My standard reply about them? "They run way above their pay grade". I used to wonder why Homelite put a decomp on an EZ, but not a Super 1050. Short answer, they have enough compression with out the decomp, they break internal stuff".Got this little Super EZ for $20... At this rate with how many Homelites I'm picking up, I'm going to need to rename myself to HomeliteKid.
The saw has seemingly nothing wrong with it besides an upside down emblem, although I suspect there may be a tiny air leak somewhere, probably a crank seal starting to go.
Put your fuel and bar oil in, pull the cord a few times and it's off and running. After sharpening the chain I did a little cutting with it, and I have to say... Is it my imagination, or does this saw have more power than you think it should have? Cuts great.
Looking at an IPL, I noticed that a full wrap handle was available for this. It seems like a silly thing to have considering how small the saw is, but I kind of want one. Anyone here happen to have one laying around?

Serial for anyone who may know something about it

Not a saw but my neighbour gave me this for free. It had been in his kitchen for 47 years. All I had to do was help him get it out of the house. 
Oh yeah. They'll make the best roasts you'll ever eat.

Not to mention heating the room and boiling a house lot of hot water needs in a thick copper cylinder whilst cooking that roast to perfection!

You weren't wrong... The 039 is the cleanest saw I own! Pic 1 starting to clean, others after a petrol wash and blowdry
