Different D8b looks

Anyone know of any reason why some d8b's come with 10 white assignment buttons and some are grey on other d8b's? Was it to do with production dates?

As I recall, Greg and one of the product manager guys went back and forth over visually connecting the channel assign to the assigns over in the master section. You may or may not know that there are also flat buttons as well a buttons with a slight slant to them. The backside was raised slightly higher on the meter bridge side vs the arm rest side.

I can't remember the dates these changes happened but the console started with the flat black buttons and the others were introduced as time rolled on...

It's all fuzzy this many years later but that's how I recall it.

Thanks So much for answering this, it was also on my mind as i just purchased another d8b on e-bay and it too has all black or grey buttons where my current one has white. For all the assign buttons on the console.
