I'd like to clarify that K-12 was the original process for Kodachrome II films and K-11 was the process for the original three layers Kodachrome film, there was a very old Kodachrome process from about 1913 that has nothing to do with the "true" 1935 Kodachrome. Rocky Mountain Film Laboratory also processes Kodachrome K-14 and even K-11/K-12 films, however they do K11-12 Black and White only because Kodak no longer manufactures the dyes coupler for K-12:

Kodak likes to re-use trade names. It had early color films named Kodachrome and Kodacoler which, as Carlos states, were completely different from the later films. Kodachrome was a dye partical system (forgotten the correct generic name for this, and Kodacolor was a lenticular system. Both were discontined for some years before the later films bearing these trade names were produced.
