Explanation:
Could you provide some general info on the product, whether it's a car or a an aftershave has a lot of bearing.

At first look, "any format or model" would seem logical...(or even "format or size")

reference


Explanation:
Term commonly used in marketing to mean "product/item" or "type of item", probably by conflating catalogue reference number with the item per se.

I have a couple of clients who use "reference" this way to mean a particular product or item. It's really just shorthand for " item categorised under reference number X".
