Anyone ever see a light blue bottomed PB180c?

I thought it was painted at first (because I've never heard of that before), until I inspected it more closely and opened it up to discover that it's totally light-blue plastic, exactly identical to the normal grey bottom. I've heard that it was either a refurbishment thing or an upgrade of some sort, but I've never seen anything official about it.

For the record, both of my 180c's (yeah, I do have two, the old "wreck" of one that I've had for years that doesn't work, and has sadly been thrashed like a stolen car, and the good one, which is fully operational, and in showroom condition) have the standard grey bottom case plastics.
