Dust Covers:
Here are some. There are prob. more. I have seen one of the early F711 rats with the model number on the dust cover.

the red covers were included with the 30 tooth ratchets and the black covers were for the 20 tooth ratchets so you could easily see the difference - the aluminum covers were earlier and the all plastic were later

There is a red all plastic cap like the black one at right side of the top row.

I believe the new repair kits come with a silver cap.
