Look the different colors

The top one looks like the ones I always thought to be the Mk.1, like the one in the picture I posted earlier.

Another pieces to the puzzle:
This part-box came with a NIB Avante:



Note the label on the box, and the fact that the uprights are the slim, grey ones (!)

This leads me to believe that the first Avantes came with the slim yellowish uprights, which were replaced by the same design but in a different material, and later the design was changed to the reinforced one. All within the timeframe of the Avante production run.
