The data sheet for the device only mentions 12V. Other data sheets (eg the 131) mention 5V and 12V, but don't indicate how to specify one or the other.
Gerry Sweeny's article at http://gerrysweeney.com/diy-hpagilent-53131a-010-high-stability-timebase-option/ mentions a part number suffix that distinguishes two choices but this doesn't appear in the main datasheet. Other writers here have in the past mentioned that the suffix has no predefined meaning and is used only to distinguish design variants internally. It appears that Isotemp do offer a choice of voltage options but don't like to document it publicly. Tom Miller's strategy seems the safest if using a surplus device.
