That must be a special model made by Royal under contract with the supplier. Same thing with all the "Easy-Clean" commercial uprights.

In Portland, OR, the Stark's Vacuum Cleaners dealerships contracted with Royal to make a few exclusive models... these were Royals but with Stark's exclusive model numbers and trim packages.

Again, this Mercury Royal would date from no later than 1974. I know, because 1975 was the first year the updated, streamlined nozzle casting for the 801, 285 and 606 was used.
