Help Identify This Cartridge?

I came across this turntable, and it looks like it might have a nice cartridge on it. Any guesses on what it might be?

You have probably never listed any cart on eBay? Pictures are more important than (any) description. The reason is simple: pictures can't lie.

The clues are the Ortofon MC30 body shape, stylus guard shape. The top plate shape, colour of body (white) and chrome screw in side ( not gold ) strongly indicate HMC10 unless it's an oddball OEM model.

I found this old link which might be helpful! http://www.ebay.ph/itm/Ortofon-QUARTZ-HMC10-MC-Cartridge-Box-/131431726972
