:-) I remember futzing around with mine and adding all sorts of status LEDs to 
it. Then I blew it up and got an Amiga...

Regarding the beeb, it looks like the caps LED was changed, but not the shift 
lock one - that's still red. Possibly an aid to clarity? LEDs are normally 
pretty robust and don't fail, so it seems unlikely that it was changed because 
a replacement was needed.
