I believe the answer you're looking for is the "SGR XX64 processor"
Where "XX" is the speed of the model.  For example, the 30MHz
model 540 has an SGR 3064, while the 25 MHz 530 has an SGR
2564.  The model 520 has an SGR 2032.  This is a 20 MHz processor
with a 64b internal memory-cache line, as opposed to the 128b cache
lines of the XX64 processors.

I don't know what SGR stands for.
