My understanding is that the nose was revised, in part, to alleviate issues with taxiing visibility which was poor in the Ju86A-E series bombers. I haven't been able to find a reference to a Ju86M-series anywhere.

Well there was a M version "Von der Ju 86 M wurden 14 Flugzeuge umgebaut (W.-Nr. 260–273)" althought not many the more common versions where the A/D with 476 aircraft, E1 with 230 aircraft, G with 142 aircraft, K with 134 aircraft built. The P 1-3 versions where built only 29 times.
