The photographs below show the early 'Chiyoda Kogaku-Japan' version with a lighter colouring and white lettering and the later 'Japan with black letters and a darker richer colouring. The difference in shade made be due to age, use or a changing in manufacturing or because the later camera has been anodised after it left the factory.
