I'm neither a typewriter nor font expert but I think it's a monospaced font and since IBM is mentioned maybe it was from an IBM Selectric typewriter?

I've seen font files based on that before, a Google for IBM selectric font looks not totally dissimilar.

Maybe that helps?

It's not Courier, though. Similar, but the g and numerals are different.

I'm going to guess it was an IBM selectric using the pica72 font typeball.

Bitstream has a $$ font called Pica 10 Pitch if you're interested.

n.b - the typist used lower-case L instead of the number 1.

Yeah, looks very similar to the Courier font. Thanks!
