Anybody know if this is an elusive Platinum //c (NOT IIc Plus)?

I have read that the //c went Platinum at the same time the IIGS was released in '86, 2 years before the IIc Plus was released. The problem is I have never seen a Platinum with a 5.25 drive. Then again with lighting and yellowing on the pictures I've seen I wouldn't really know. I've seen some pretty beige IIc Pluses and I know they are Platinum.
But this one is interesting because, not only does it look like it's in good shape, but it is a complete matching system shot together in the same lighting. It appears to have two Platinum Apple 5.25 drives that match a Platinum ImageWriter II and whatever that monitor is (it appears to be the AppleColor RGB introduced with the Apple IIGS, but I don't know Apple II monitors that well – could it also be the Color Monitor //c?).
If these were the older beige Unidisk 5.25 drives they would stand out darker even against the off-white of the //c & early ImageWriter II.
Anybody shed some light on this?
