According to James Grooms, the Montgomery Ward Signature 88, a variation of the Royal Safari, was also sold as the Signature 500 and the Heritage 500. Following this model, Brother began manufacturing typewriters for Montgomery Ward.
Nakajimas can be distinguished from having the margin release key on the right side whereas very similar looking Silver-Reed machines (and Brothers) have it on the left.
Advise for differentiating between Brother, Nakajima, and Silver-Reed late model typewriters.
According to Ted Munk, "Spencerian Script only occurs on Montgomery Ward Brothers and not on any other Brother-manufactured machines"

Brother was still manufacturing typewriters in 2013.
