I have noticed two different interiors on the Technika IV, a brown and a grey.

I have not seen the IV discussed as having different variants other than the final models having the ratcheting rise...

I have an early IV and it is grey.

Does anyone know the story behind the interior colors? Was this an option to pick or if it just changed at some point?

A couple of photos from the internet for reference...
