  There's also different coloured versions for many
of the panels too.
 ... There's a blue-and-red '40 panel sold by DEC in their
 "INDUSTRIAL-11" version. 
Also for the /70; I announced a couple of weeks back that I'd added a scan of
one to my PDP-11 stuff page:

  I also have a complete DEC DataSystem-570 panel ...
which is just a
 standard 11/70 panel, but recolored in light blue / dark blue / gray
 color scheme. 
One of those on that page, too. (Well, the plexiglass part. :-)

  This might or might not be blasphemous to some, but I
think the DDS-570
 colour scheme looks much nicer than the standard PDP-11 colour scheme. 
I like them both... :-)

...
  I'm wondering how close of a match the
"business system" blue PDP-11/7x
 models match up against DEC's other blue coloured systems; i.e. KL10s
 of the DECsystem-10xx flavour 
They are different; the 570 includes a deep blue (a royal/Prussian kind of
blue), and on the KL10 both are lighter.

...
  it's front-end processor was a PDP-11/40 with an
alternate colour
 scheme panel 
Actually, that is the only 'front panel' (lights and switches) on the KL10;
the KL10 CPU itself doesn't have one (unlike the KA10 and KI10).
