For the longest time I have noticed ebay items describing a 'NYCT subway car' belt buckle or tie clip is actually a misidentified LIRR M-1. The seller(s) assume that it is an NYCT R-44 or 46 car, but under close scrutiny it is obviously the M-1. The enamel-coated image depicts the railcar with only two doors on one side. And furthermore it has the tradmark MTA 'M' logo on the 'off side' of the cab. Too bad these folks don't do their research before putting up items for sale.

If you're already aware of this situation -- never mind -- Good hunting!
