AFAIK the 55/1.8 didn't come in an "M". (This is a pretty good deal on the "K" though, they seem to be getting pretty hard to find.)

In addition, the distinctions between each series is not always
correctly applied by sellers (and I'm not just picking on eBay
here, either) - it is not uncommon for some sellers to refer to
~any~ pre-A K-mount lens as an M lens, even if sometimes, of
course, a particular pre-A lens might actually be a K lens. So it
can be a case of "buyer be aware".
Just another thought on this: Often the incorrect distinction is easily spotted (and only merits a cognoscenti chuckle or two <g>) - there are no M versions of certain lenses (e.g., 15/3.5, 85/1.8, etc.) - but sometimes there is indeed a chance of confusion (e.g., with the 50/1.4's, certainly).
