The alpha Q was reported to have the executor tone, but it had a lot less wind down, the pitch was similar. My 295s and alphas of the same period and letter that I have sound similar; if not identical. There was a few months where the Q tone was sold under the M name when Whelen had been made to change the name but not the tone. Soon Whelen was forced change the tone too. Both due to legal action by Fed Sig. A 2008 M should have the real (not Q, not new mech) M tone. I should sound very close to the 295M in the video. The quality from best to worst IMHO goes executor, Q, M, current Mech.
