Take a look at eBay auction #140564439955 picture #6. It shows a Pepsi Vendorlator 81SM in the advertising binder.

Here's my observations: All the Pepsi 81s that I've seen have the much larger "Drink Pepsi-Cola" embossing while in this picture it is much smaller and offset (like a Vendo Coke 81A). Also, the cabinet has the large slots on the side. Finally, it shows the weight as 325 lbs. which is considerably heavier than the Vendo 81s which are closer to 286 lbs.

Does anyone have any info on this 81SM model? And is the 81 with the larger embossing a different model number?

Also, look at the machine price back then... 355  oh

Probably just a poor illustration (drawing) of the embossing on the Pepsi 81.
The drawing has the embossing too small and up towards the bottle door.

Where can I locate the downloads section? I looked all over and can't find it.

Are you suggesting the page is showing an artist drawing rather than an actual photograph of a real machine?

It's either an illustration or a photo they touched up to remove glare, reflections, waves, etc. on the machines.
It's the same illustation in Jeff Walters book... Matter of fact in his 2nd edition book the Coke, 7up and RC 81s
are actual photos the Pepsi and Dr Pepper are illustrations.
