What model Clark is this

I have recently bought a Clark Forklift. It was sold as a 1985 - 30 tonne forklift. I am now wanting to clarify the model and get a lifting chart. I have had someone from clark look at the picture and suggest it may be older and smaller. I am happy with it just want to be safe. It has a perkins V8. There is no plate and I am not sure how to figure out the model. It looks very similar to a cy50 or cy510
It weighs 38 tonne - it is 7m (23 feet) from back of forklift to back of forks. The forks are then 2425mm (8feet) long and are 110mm (4 1/2 inches) thick at base. The machine is 3400mm (11 feet 2 inches) wide.

check for a serial # stamped on the frame (usually near the battery), and back track for a M/N

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
