My understanding is that the turning knobs were made of Hard Rubber while the barrel was acetate. I have seen a few where the colors are different as the HR has faded or turned slightly brownish or greenish as HR  sometimes does.

Dear Jim,

 

You are right.

Dear Giovanni Abrate too has given the information.
"The filler knob in the very early 88s was made of hard rubber: that is the reason for the different color (hard rubber ages differently from celluloid)"

 

Very best regards,
Savas Ulugtekin
