I thought it was the blue one. The one pictured appears to be "powerbook" coloured.
Per this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21608, the model number you'd want is M4551A. I believe the only difference, other than the plastics, between M4551A and M4551B is that the former has the older "Mac" style video input and the latter has VGA input.
The later M7613 (graphite/DVI) model adds a USB hub, removes the ADB hub and I think it removes the analog video input of the two M4551 models.

Here you go, pictures of all four of the generations of Studio Display:
(Click to see bigger picture.)
The one in that ad is the 'original' one, complete with multi-color logo and old DA-15 video connector. In my photo, it's the one sitting turned off in front (mine is dead. It powers up, but the backlight is out, and it doesn't display a picture.)
The second generation is the Blue and White (middle in my picture,) which switches Apple's old DA-15 for a conventional VGA, and gives it the B&W treatment, but is otherwise the same. (Still uses ADB, for example, and has S-Video and composite in.)
The third generation is the Graphite (right in my picture,) which moves to DVI and USB. It no longer has S-Video and composite, DVI is it.
Finally, we have the lucite models (left in my picture,) with ADC. (Although the very first revision of the 22" Cinema Display did use DVI.)
By the time the lucite ADC models died, the lineup was officially "Cinema Display", not "Studio Display". (And on the lucite models, only the square-ish aspect ratio 15" and 17" models were "Studio", plus the B&W and Graphite CRTs; the widescreen lucite models were also "Cinema Display".)
