Default Does anyone understand the different color of radio bezels on es330's

I have a scratched up radio bezel (radio receiver panel) and am looking to replace it on my 2005 es330. Ebay and the junkyards sell the bezel along with the radio, which is fine. I even bought one and the bezel was a darker gray the bezel that I had, so I couldn't use it. Mine is sort of a lighter gray. I can match the radio part number up with people, but I just know about the bezel and it's to hard to tell in pictures if it's the lighter are darker gray. My radio part number is 86120-33512 (86230-33032). Lexus says the part number for my bezel is 86221-33062, but I'm still confused why there are different shades of gray....maybe just different years?

So, are the 2005 radios all the same color and I just need to be sure it's a 2005 radio?
Does anyone know if the bezel has the part number anywhere on it, I have not taken mine out of the car to look?

Thanks for any help, everyone I talk to does not know.

the 2002-2004 models use a darker grey bezel...lexus went with a light grey/silverish bezel on the 2005-2006 model when they switched over to the blonde wood from the dark cherry found on all 2002-2004 models.

The wood in my 05 is burled walnut.....and it's dark. Give me your e-mail address & I can sent you a couple of pics of my interior.....the pics I have are too big & can't post them here.
