The way I read that article, what they refer to as the "CBM 64" is 
essentially a 64k P500 & would have used the low profile Commodore II 
case. The picture they used was a Commodore II high profile case.

"The Commodore II is where it starts to get interesting. Two models are 
planned, with 128K and 256K respectively. Some sources hold they will be 
marketed as the CBM 128 and CBM 256.

Whatever the designation, both will have the same space-age styling as 
the Commodore 64"

It looks like VIC-40 was now used for the commodore 64, but 
US/Germany/Japan all named their computers locally (i.e. VIC20/VC20/VIC 
1001) so I wouldn't put too much on any of these namings.
