wtb atari cabaret blue shrouds

I had a blue one one on a Tempest cabaret I sold a while ago. I thought it was odd, as I'd never seen one before. I thought they were all black, but apparently not.
 
I'm rebuilding a dig dug I'm pretty sure there suppose to be blue I have never seen a real original. and I have a custom fast freddie that would look good with a blue bezel
 
Hello I am looking for two Atari cabaret cardboard shrouds I would prefer blue but black will so thanks.

I make reproduction cardboard bezels, and have templates/originals for MOST of the Atari stuff. I've sold a LOT of the cabaret ones. Cut from template from original bezel, all bends razor scored, etc..perfect fit. Centipede - blue, Tempest and Dig Dug - black. PM me with your needs! Thanks..

My tempest cabaret has a blue bezel. Pretty sure part# is from a centipede cabaret. I assumed it was not original.
 
Honestly, it all looked the same behind the tinted glass.
I can't tell the diff either.

(My cabaret also had tinted plexi BTW. Are they actually real glass?)

I thought someone with a known original Tempest cabaret had told me theirs had glass. Mine has a plexi also but it's a total parts build (harness is from a full upright, lacks the aux panel, AR/II is marked Centipede in sharpie -- I've been looking for a reasonably priced cabaret harness for a while to try and convert it back to something closer to original).
 
Centipede cabarets had blue surrounds, while Dig Dug and Tempest cabarets had black. The blue surround really brings-out the Centipede cabaret glass bezel colors (artwork), since the glass is clear and the surround is easily seen. The Dig Dug cabaret glass bezel is also clear and the black surround is very noticeable.

Tempest cabarets had a dark, tinted glass bezel, so the black surround can be seen, but not as easily as Dig Dug and Centipede.
