How to identify HP-49g+ production runs

[dmh]

I recently acquired one of these - I quite like the look of the light coloured face.

My serial number is CNA436xxxxx which I believe is 2004, week 36. Wikipedia says they were available from 2003 to 2008.

Would there be different hardware versions over its limited 5 year lifetime (compared to many other models)?

Differences to the 50g appear to be colour and 3 vs 4 batteries. Anything else?

Happy to provide details or photos if you have something older/newer to compare to.

Well, I've decided I need to add an HP-49g+ to my collection.

Is there any difference between the earliest manufacturing runs and the latest for this model?

If so, what are the differences?

And, how would I tell what I'm getting, if buying off of TAS or another online source?


Thanks in advance!
