Similar to HP 46 ??

I am nearly positive it was a Hewlett Packard machine.
I cannot say whether or not it was RPN
I distinctly remember the adding machine type numeric keyboard
I remember the general shape and color scheme of the machine which is like the 46 but wider
I remember the LED display with the magnifiers in front of the digits
I remember the impact printer, loud
I don't remember ever seeing "ALPHA" characters in the display
I am sure there was no tape drive and I don't remember anything like a magnetic stick
The +,-, X,and / function keys were to the right of the numeric keypad just like on th 46
The time frame should have been mid 1970's
I had a lot surveying type problems to contend with. I suppose it's possible I had a separate machine available to do that with but I don't think so. Besides, if that were the case, the machine wouldn't have needed to be any larger than the 46.

Is it possible, that it was an early version of the 46 without the dual function keys. Then the second functions of the dual function keys on the 46 would have to have been handled with additional single function keys?

The power switch may have been a rocker switch rather than the "PUSH-PUSH" on th 46
