Have a look at http://www.btinternet.com/~mfinbow/sgi/octane/partnos.html
    MOT10 Board: barcode KGR298     part 030-1241-002 rev  J
Is the SE GFX.
    GM10 Board: barcode GAK372     part 030-0938-003 rev  T

No PCI.

AFAIK you can do SI/SSI/MXI/SE/SSE/MXE with any Xbow revision.

They are quite narrow angle LEDs. I got them for free, so I didn't ask.
