I have two Apple IIe's and notice that the case color is considerably different. The first one is dated 1982 on the motherboard and it seems to be a lighter shade of beige than the other one, which is dated 1986 & is a IIe Enhanced. The newer one looks more yellow, or darker beige, but it matches the shade of beige shown on the picture on the box. Did the IIe originally have a painted case? The inside of the older system's case is dark brown, while the inside of the newer one is unform with the outside.
