What model of typewriter is this? It's not an Olympia SM1, nor an SM2...

That is an Optima Elite, maybe an Elite 2, with an Olympia decal. I am not sure why it has an Olympia decal. While Optima was the company that was born from the East German part of Olympia, I think this particular model would have come after the fight over branding was settled.

Here is a link to the Optima Elite 2 Typewriter Database galleries, which is the model I believe this typewriter is.
