Does anybody have a photo of where the mirror lock-up is on the model
that says 6x7 (not 67) on it?
I can't make it out in copies of the manual that I have found so far.
In lieu of a photo a description of where on the camera it can be
found and what it looks like, please!

I found this description in a forum. Hope it helps:

Look at the two vertical surfaces either side of the lens base. One
side has a horizontal sliding switch to release the lens. The other
side has a vertical travel switch to release the mirror. The mirror
returns when the shutter is tripped. So, two sliding releases and you
have the MLU version. The mirror only moves if the shutter is cocked.
Load the camera with film and cock the shutter. Cocking the shutter
without film is too hard to explain.
PS: If the body says Pentax 67, it's MLU. If it says Pentax 6x7 you
have to look for the MLU release.
