Inconsistent masking caused some of these car’s roof line rivits to be either RED or GRAY. In addition, on some of those issues that were rubber-stamped the second "S" in "SYSTEM" has a tail. This was caused by a flaw in the rubber-stamp. See the close-up picture below. There are six variations:

Variation A: Both RED and GRAY colors are painted and the lettering utilizes a rubber-stamp.
spacer
Variation B: Is identical to Variation A except the second "S" in "SYSTEM" has a tail.
