It is indeed a D272. The roller is really neat, with 1 row on each side of thick bristles and one on each side of thin bristles. The M262 has a standard single row brush. Not long after I posted this a friend showed me his M262, which while beaten up was certainly more grey with barely any blue...

Eureka Juniors H and J respectively. The H came in 2 variants, sleeve and ball bearing. Early Js had a riveted box where the cord comes out, unsure of the purpose. Ads courtesy of Portable.

Eureka M262 "Master" This was the low end version of the D272. Featuring a single row brush, curved metal handle as opposed to plastic grip, and a one speed motor, this did not sell very well. It came in 2 tone with black and a gray/blue. Mine has been repainted in a lighter than original shade...

The Eureka D272. This model simplified the accents of the D171 to white, though some D272s used a matching red bumper and bag. Ad courtesy of Paul.

Model M61, burgundy painted with front facing bag

This is either an R-L-C or an R-41, as it has the steel handle fork that started in 1940.

The Eureka G31. Same as the G30 but with a brown paint job and a front facing bag.

The Eureka G30. This one has a steel handle fork and an optional headlight.

The Eureka Challenger M. This model had a full wood handle grip, and an extremely streamlined finish. Early Ms had a plated steel handle with the older bag and badge(like mine) and later ones had an updated bag, badge, and an aluminum handle. No pic on hand of the later variant, I'll leave it...

The Eureka R. Early Rs had pinstripes embossed and painted on the castings, along with an old style logo on the bag and badge. Later versions(like mine) updated both of those and ditched the pinstriped accents on the aluminum as well. The first truly 2 speed Eureka, with both speeds in the...

The Eureka G2. Early G2s looked more like the G but with a side sitting bag. Late G2s had a headlight option(as does mine), an updated bag logo and shape, and updated badge. All G2s had a larger, more powerful motor and later ones had a rubber strain relief instead of a spring. Ad courtesy of...

Into the motor brush models. The Eureka G. Early iterations had a wood grip and a speed switch underneath, mine is a mid range with just a wood cap on the handle and no speed switch.

The last of the straight suctions, and the only one to use ball bearings and have no external wire terminals. Prewar versions were polished with a wood knob on the handle, and of course the rear handle switch. Postwar, commercially sold ones like mine had a metal handle cap, a grey hammertone...

The Eureka D(Deluxe). This one had an updated head with a brush built in, a full wood handle grip, a switch behind the handle, and 4 wheels instead of 3. Mine was in rough shape, so I custom painted the once rusty accents red and got it a matching bag. This one also had its height adjuster in...

The Eureka A(model 11/Standard #1). The 10 and 11 used the same prefix, A, along with the term Standard. The only change between them is the 11 added a 2 piece, quick removal handle fork. These models had the height adjuster on the fixed rear wheel. Ad courtesy of Paul.

The Eureka A(model 10/Standard #1). The 10 and 11 used the same prefix, A, along with the term Standard. The only change between them is the 11 added a 2 piece, quick removal handle fork. These models had the height adjuster on the fixed rear wheel.

The Eureka F(Standard #2). This is quite an odd one. Switch on the back of the handle, height adjuster on the nozzle with a model G type axle, and grooves cut into the head. Sadly mine has no bag as of now. I cannot find any ads at all for this.
