Some time after the release of the second generation SUPER M series Philips added the GP-406 mk II to the family. Like the GP-412 mk II it replaced the unpolished elliptical tip of the GP-401 mk II with a polished one in combination with a lighter and more compliant suspension. This improved the tracking over that of the GP-401 mk II, but not quite to the level of the GP-412 mk II as the suspension of the latter was probably even lighter and more compliant.

946/D67 Stylus for Philips GP-406 mk II

We suspect that the original stylus for the GP-406 mk II differed slightly from the 946/D67. The cantilever system was most likely a little heavier and the suspension not nearly as compliant. The difference is academic as originals are not available. We propose that you use the below elliptical aftermarket replacements. They were designed for the Philips GP-412 mk II and therefore behave like the 946/D67 and track at the same 0.75g - 1.5g.
