It won't be MK II. It's either an M400 or a Chamberlin on Turn The Page. Not sure about We've got Tonight.
It sounds more like Mellotron to me on both, but the person who I purchased a Chamberlin from
says the M1 I was buying was the unit used by Bob Seger's keyboardist Robyn (Robby) Robbins.
On this one - who knows for sure? They use the same 3 violins sound but you can make a Chamberlin sound tron-like with effects etc. The instruments also have a history of being confused because 3rd parties often wrote liner notes etc.
