Am I missing something here, or is the M behind D800 just a typo??

Not a typo, although not a real Nikon nomenclature either. Rather one given by the owner after he had his camera physically converted to monochrome.

yes... the color filter array and the microlenses were plasma etched off the sensor and the ICF was replaced with BG-38 glass.  so a true monochrome sensor conversion.

What’s the advantage compared using the MC profile in the camera?

i recommend D800's, they are reasonable around 800 USD used with <25k actuations.  I used maxmax.com to do the conversion.

the sensitivity increases, the shadow to highlight increases (dynamic range - within the 14 bit allowed), and the sharpness increases
