While the earliest Mark 2 production runs coming out of Magna Power Tool Corporation were traditional Greenie green, later production runs switched to a grey color scheme. Not sure if this was at the point where Yuba Power Products switched to the wooden bench rails, or when the Mark 5 went Goldie.
Anyway, this recent eBay pickup is a miter gauge in the later grey color scheme - the first time this miter style appeared in the grey tone that became the short term standard just before Magna American Corporation ended Mark 5 production altogether.
Keeping costs down on this model meant no extra holes in the miter bar, and no adjustable angle stops in the miter casting.

Comparing to an earlier green motif of the Mark 2 miter, with the optional safety grip.
