Has anyone else ever come accross a Battlezone with a blue overlay instead of the standard Green?

I've got two Battlezone Cabaret's, one with the standard Green Overlay, and the other has a Blue Overlay.

Additionally, the one with the Blue overlay has some unique wording that I haven't seen on any other Battlezone monitor bezel:

'Computer Aided Guidance System'
'Nitro Fuel Gauge'
'Computer Radar System'
'Ace Rating Scale'

....and most interestingly (to me): 'The NEIST SBT1000 Armored Defense Vehicle' in the upper right hand corner.

Sorry for the crappy pics, it's the best I could do for now.

I realize that this could be some aftermarket mod, or cheap fix an operator did to replace a damaged bezel, but I'm not sure how likely it would be for a bezel to get damaged behind the Glass. Although it could happen in the shop I guess when they were working on it.

Unfortunately the the boards weren't working, so I had to put a different set in. I don't know if I have the original boards, or they are one of the sets I traded Bill K.

Ok, the other interesting thing is the tags/serial number on the back. On this cab there are no Atari tags, and it appears the serial number is etched/scratched into the cab '1032'.

On the other cab, with the green overlay, there are Atari tags, and the Serial # is printed on the standard tag '1354'. (Yes, that cabs a little rougher!).
