[TenTec] Orion II men battery date?

[A R]

My 565 Orion has the A14 autotuner, which has no battery. Although the manual calls out a p/n 81956, the A14 board in my Orion carries only marking: "LDG RG-11". Did TT equip Orions with (at least) two versions of the autotuner...one without battery (no memory), and one with battery (with memory)? Both my 565 and Version 4 566 manuals state on p.38 that  "There is no memory feature...".

The other battery is allegedly on the auto tuner
