Well, that's odd, because none of the ones I've ever seen are anything
but grey! Mine are all plain grey, no colour, as are the three I've
sold or given away in the last five years. All the ones I used to
service when I worked for a TPM company were plain grey too.

I would be very interested in seeing a picture of one of these enclosures in
anything other than the plain gray....

Check these out then:
BA11-M (11/03) DEC/PDP logo in glorious DEC maroon:

BA11-S (11/23) DEC/PDP logo in a either a darkgrey or VT100 brown

I love the one in DEC maroon background! :-)

That doesn't look original to me.
It is... but a later version of the panel. You can tell by
the inset screws at the ends of the panel. I also have one
in storage at the moment...
That's simply the result of a colour cast in a
badly lit/badly exposed
photo, probably taken under tungsten lighting. It looks just like mine
except for the cast; mine is plain DEC grey with a black and white
sticker.
This looks like several I saw at DEC, and I think I have one
myself. It is a sticker on a flat panel, not embossed one.
Where's the colour in that? It's a standard
11T23 system, identical to
the one in the next room to me -- and I can assure you that the only
colour is the yellow and red on the RL02 lamps.
I think someone has adulterated it. I'm sure
that's not original.
It is, sorry...

What do the inset screws hold?
Any versions of the logo that is colored _AND_ embossed?
