Hello, everyone. I have a SL66 I bought and repaired this year, and the plaque
with SL66 is not silver lettered in a black plate as usual, it is bronze
colored although made of aluminium (I had to remove it to open the panel). My
camera has the number 834 so I think if early ones could have that plate
colour, I have found one example like mine in the internet with the number
7247: https://www.ebay.es/itm/374253949145
These are another two cameras I have found with the same bronze plaque (don’t
know the number):

It is not a very important question, but I have curiosity, have you seen that
different nameplate? Besides, in my camera the crank opens backwards before
turning it, contrary to the rest that open forwards. No importance too.
Cheers,
Luis
