The 2nd version I have is just a plastic front cover and even some of the ones I've seen online with the red buttons appear to be plastic as well (maybe they are just much better condition?).

I know of one other TI model that switched from metal faceplate to plastic during its production run, and that's the TI-68. The earlier models were painted metal like Jebem's and the later models were all plastic.

Similar date of production and similar (but not identical) button appearance too.
