The answer I got was “there never was a 27S in the 50 anniversary program” & “so it must have been made as part of the selection process inside the division (Corvallis) whilst investigating the options, which ended up with 14B and 32S”

I wonder if the reason the 27S wasn't included amongst the anniversary models was one of those terribly mundane decisions: the silver detailing on the 27S works best with a silver decal but it's a 50th anniversary being celebrated - so the decal should be gold - and the gold decal looks best on the plain brown models?
