I have kindly received corrections to the designations of the Hughes MkIX from the sextant guru Bill Morris so they are:-
The MkIX series:
IX has no averager, IXA has an averager, IXB offers a choice of one or two minute averaging and M (usually BM) has the B averager and an x1 and x2 eyepiece.
Thank you Bill.
