Canadian VIC-20 - color question

[vicassembly]

I purchased a Vic from a chap in Canada. I have seen bread boxes that have yellowed with age but this machine looks almost orange. I will snap a picture and upload it.

First of all... Does anyone know of an issue of the VIC that was a different color than white? I have never seen anything quite like this.

This is the worst I have seen.

The flame retardant is brown after oxidation so any shade from original, light yellow and shades to brown should be possible depending on how much of it was poured into the plastic batch used.

Here is a link to the auction. Notice the color.... Aged or something else?

Judging from the key tops as well it looks plain yellowed.

Nice extras there with the cart switcher and keyboard!
