First Leica M sample images?

HK LFC forum member posted several sample images (translation) claimed to be from the new Leica M digital rangefinder. Most of the images are taken at high ISO with a Noctilux f/1 lens. The EXIF data is not available to confirm the origin of the photos. With the exception of few images from the brochure, Leica Camera has not officially released any sample photographs from the new M model.

Update: I think those images are really from the Leica M – you can see the Leica M here and the new battery here.
