They seemed nearly identical to some other pictures I saw earlier on
this thread; I figure they nicked web photos for their auction, but it
could have been the other way round. Aren't the auction photos
identical to the ones from Aron Insinga's page?
They ebay photos are different than the photos jim posted earlier in
the thread, look at the surface the units are sitting on. Also, the
stamped number on the top of the units is different:

BTW, I think Aron said he might have some other random
