Gunnar, since you started a thread about this variety at idig I thought I'd link to it here b'c Tania and others chimed in and it doesn't seem to be all that clear cut.
The variety was introduced by Andrey as M's hat and you and some others said, I think, it should be M's cap.
Maybe others could read the above thread and give an opinion as well.
