Have you seen a black speed control?

I've just retrieved my Dad's Shopsmith from his old workshop. It has been sitting for a LONG time. I'm in the process of learning as much as I can about it before I touch it. I'd like to restore it and don't want to accidentally make anything worse before I even get started.
I've already learned a LOT and still figuring out more. Based on the serial number it seems to have been built in 1956. I've been looking at a lot of pics of the Greenies. So far everything I've seen has a red background on the speed control. Mine has a black background. I haven't seen any other black backgrounds so I was wondering if this indicates anything. Anyone have any idea or seen anything like it? The medallion covering the access hole on the back is the normal red.
