500 series logic board caps

found this eBay listing which specifies the cap value for the SMD cap on the board, but then I see these two purple things:
Are these two caps?
believe its @imactheknife's ebay listing.
 
Yep, those are the caps you find a Rev B logic board. The Rev A board has cylindrical electrolytics instead. That's the easiest way to tell them apart.

I didn’t realize there were two revisions. Do you have any Rev A photos handy?

I’ve been cataloguing 500 series stuff recently and I guess I’ve just happened to land only Rev B units…

I'll have to try and find my spare Blackbird board that is a Rev. A. The Rev B. all around is a better design. It reduced the number of chips, realigned some of them so they are in a better place/orientation, and the electrolytics were replaced with polymer caps, except for 1 right near the two purple polymer caps.
