Sadowsky stomp box question

I'd love to see an old and new SBP-1 gut photo. Or SBP-2 compared to old belt version.
Resurrecting an old post, I came across this thread when doing some research on what, if anything was different on the new v2 version of the SBP-1, which according to the powers that be, is “nothing” other than location of manufacture (I believe somewhere Roger said that since 2015 v1 pedals were manufactured in Taiwan, v2 now at Warwick facility in China)
I did pick up a v2, then found an old one that had “Sadowsky Guitars NYC” on the front of the pedal case vs. ”Sadowsky Pedals” on the v2. There is a handwritten date on the circuit board inside that dates it to May of 2010 (no idea where this one was manufactured). For anyone interested, here is the “gut photo” requested above:

The 2010 model is on top, the v2 on the bottom.

I’ve A/B’d them both and there is little to no difference in the sound/tone out of both.
