What I can't figure out is how they attached the trunnion to the underside of the table. I looked at the underside of my table and didn't see any trunnion mounting holes. I wonder if it has a modified dog bone, and (even though it has a 500 carriage) if it has dual locking trunnions ala the 510/520. Here is a picture of my tablesaw:

Blue for commercial sales? I don't know, but it sounds logical.
