There were two types of Savoy I, type 2 having a taller top housing accommodating a larger viewfinder. The front-loading has been described as "disastrous"[1], making loading extremely difficult.
The Savoy II models (1957) had an opening, hinged back for loading, whilst retaining the removable front on early examples; later productions seem to have fixed fronts. The Savoy IIc had a fixed front and added a selenium meter.
The Savoy III had a facelift giving it a flat top-plate, a wider horizontally-grooved silver-finish plate front and a more cylindrical lens barrel.
Savoy 3F models (1958) added an AG-1 flashbulb holder.
