Yes it does. It also comes in flat and "CB"
Note that the 'flat' (or plain) version with the black plastic retaining ring has been superceded by the current standard scalloped version.

I wrestled with the same thing you did (M3? M3T? M4? M6?
)
It's complicated I think...
If you go by TV shows then the M4 gets used the most.
If you go by movies then the M6 gets used the most.
I started off with the 12PM and I fed it often so for me, the MN16 was the only really enjoyable lamp for the M3T. Compared to the 12PM (& M4) the M3T is surprisingly compact (seems like the M4's extra inch makes all the difference)
However, the M3T's MN16 is no substitute for the M6. The M6 is hefty and heavier than the M3T but still compact.
I've always found the M4's beams to be lacking compared to the M6 in terms of brilliance. The M4 is fine in use but for fun it has to be the M6.
And then there is the M3. For a long time I didn't have an M3 bezel so I wasn't able to experience it. As a three-SF123A flashlight it is quite large - both longer and wider diameter than the C3/9P etc. However, when I finally got an M3 I realised that the increased size over the 'standard 9V flashlights' was so worth it. People who play with the M3 find the squashed beam shape of the standard MN10 lamp annoying. However, users find that the M3's improved ability to illuminate is far more important. People who play with the M3 like the MN11. I do and I do. It's a joy. The P91 lamp is outclassed for certain.
I have all sorts of SureFires. The M3, M3T and M6 are especially impressive.
When people talk about LED's replacing incandescents I consider the tipping points to be the M3, M3T and M6. More specifically I refer to the High Output Lamp Assemblies. Nothing LED comes close at the moment.
I support the desire to get both the M3 and M3T by being able to swap the bezels. If I has to start from scratch I would get an M3, M6 and an MN16 lamp to use in the TurboHead (from the M6) on the M3's body.
