I doubt the device sent to Dirk is a Lauta/RM-742. All of the leaked information has always suggested that the Lauta was basically an N9 with a keyboard. The story of Nokia MeeGo article seems pretty adamant that the Lauta is a Harmattan device with a TI OMAP3630 SoC. With all of the pointers that it uses a Medfield SoC and that it has Ilmatar installed, I'd say it's more than likely the device in Dirk's possession is actually a Soiro prototype. The same article also states that the Soiro uses the same design as the Lauta. I'm guessing that this is a very early Soiro prototype and they just took the casing from a Lauta. It's possible that the Soiro board doesn't fit properly inside the Lauta casing and was forced in which would explain the damage. Maybe you could open up the other 3 devices to see if they have a TI or an Intel chip and see if they show another RM-XXX or RX-XX codename? If my theory is right about the damage, they are probably also Soiros.

I don't know about the Soiro but the Harmattan flasher should at least have some support for the Lauta. RM-742 references can be found in an early version of the Harmattan flasher:
