Mine is not, though they are close (both w/batteries)!

17BII (Late type w/Black bezel): 141.7g

17BII+ (Silver): 142.4g

I measured 144g for the 17BII (with taupe bezel), and 140g for the silver 17BII+, both with batteries. A black and gold 17BII+ measured 131g with batteries.

I do have a couple of grams of variation between my three HP-17BIIs: a black bezel and a taupe bezel with about the same mass, and another black bezel a couple of grams lighter.
