According to http://www.emulatorarchive.com/Synthesizers/SSM/ssm.html:

"The [SSM] chips proved very popular from 1977 - 1985, with the only
competition coming from Curtis Electromusic Specialities (CEM) based
in Santa Clara, who began manufacturing a range of analog synthesizer
chips in 1979. These proved to be rather more stable in design, but
they did not have the warmth of the SSM designs. The Emulator III was
the only E-mu design to use CEM chips (the CEM 3387)."

Am I wrong, or would it be difficult to find SSM filters in the EIII
*enclosure*?
