Mine powers up with "OCC4 1.04"
Mine says "1.01" - I wonder if an EPROM update is called for too?

Is that "ugly brown" the color of the foam on a root-beer float?
No, it's a very dark chocolate (I guess most people would just say
"black"). Judging from the photos I've seen, I'd guess that my whole
case
is about the color of the end panels on a "production" Vixen. And it's not
structural foam or acrylic or painted as far as I can tell.
I took a few photos -

Notice the horizontal floppy drives...
To Dave Dunfield, et al - thanks for the pointers to the diskette images.

It looks like a Vixen case, just black-ish, but same off-white
handle. The motherboard looks to have the same connector positions
as the Vixen. But that little monitor! What could the people at OCC
been thinking? One would have thought that they would have learned
their lesson on that one.
Wonder if yours is a "concept" system, trotted out for the marketing
people. Or maybe a way to get rid of a warehouse full of 5" O1
monitor assemblies?
Cheers,
Chuck
