Bezel color difference between Heavy Sixer and others?

[SlowCoder]

Are my eyes deceiving me?

 

I recently got a Heavy Sixer. I noticed that the switch bezel's border is yellow, instead of the orange color I see on light sixers and 4 switchers. Is that correct, or are they all normally orange, and somehow mine is faded?

Also, what do you guys think about repainting the bezel edges to restore the color? I know in some antique circles, it's considered passe to repaint something because it loses it's antiqueness and individuality. Thoughts?

Most of the H6ers that were made in Sunnyvale in early times and/or were promo units have the gold bezel from what I have seen over the years. It seems when they switched to Taiwan mfg is when the orange started to appear.
