I thought I had the page with photos bookmarked, but it seems I'm not as OCD as I thought, but I believe they were on a page in an old forum thread here.

(Scroll down until 10C Series Versions)

The link says:

Personally I have only seen the latter, double shot keys showing a ghost labelling from worn out mold.
