I purchased a Linn MAJIK-I amplifier and a Linn MIMIK CD player in 2020. Where are the model numbers for these Linn products?

The model numbers for the Linn MAJIK-I amplifier are Majik-IP (phono version) and Majik-IL (line-level version). The Linn MIMIK CD player does not specify a unique model number beyond the name "Mimik."
