Does anyone know which colour channel the look of the M10M matches? Blue, Green or Red?

None, the sensor is panchromatic very close to Tri-X spectral sensitivity.

Show me some evidence please. Same scene shot with the M10. 

Red channel 

Green channel 

Blue channel 

and a shot from the M10M

 

Here is an example of what I mean.

I see exactly what you mean I could show you with an M10 vs M10M but let me show you another and more interesting way.
From up to down and left to right the same image taken with M10 Mono without filter, with red filter, with green filter and with blue filter. And then you assemble the red, green and blue filtered images which gives you due to the panchromatic nature of the Monochrom cameras a "perfect" color photography (trichromy principle). 

You might also read this (its about M9M but it the same with M10M) : https://www.leica-camera.blog/2012/10/31/fegor-a-fetishists-guide-to-the-monochrom-part2/

Thanks for your post generally – but the article which you have linked – above – is wonderfully interesting and well explained. Do you happen to know where the part one article is and did he go on to do a part three?

[marcg]

Actually – I've found them

With pleasure :

Part 1 : https://www.leica-camera.blog/2012/10/23/fegor-a-fetishists-guide-to-the-monochrom-part1/

Part 3 : https://www.leica-camera.blog/2012/11/07/fegor-a-fetishists-guide-to-the-monochrom-part3/

He actually made a very nice review about M10M : https://www.ultrasomething.com/2020/01/paradox-view-the-m10-monochrom/

Thanks.  I just read the part one and I found it frankly rather shallow and unhelpful in understanding anything much more than the qualities of the supplied Leica strap.

I'm just beginning part three which looks hugely more interesting and more useful. The part two is exceptionally informative.
 

I saw the review about the M10M a few days ago. It was interesting – but not up to the quality of the MM part two – (in my view)

Looks closest to the green channel from the M10 I would say

Actually you cannot compare panchromatic sensitivity of any Monochrom camera to green, red or blue channel of any color camera...Green channel color file's looks closer to panchromatic sensor (or film) with green filter in front of the lens, because a color sensor is basically a monochrome sensor with color filter array in front of it.
