Different versions of FWB 103 and how to tell

Hi all,
I noticed that the FWB 103 was evidently produced with different grips, one that was a two-piece design and one that was a single piece. The latter seems more modern to me, is that correct?

Also I saw 103s with different shades of blue, a very strong blue as well as a pale, almost grey color. Is this also an indicator of the production time?

Where there any other changes during production?

Robert

The earlier version of the 103 was the deep blue version with the two-piece FWB grip design, the pale blue version was the latest version with the single piece Morini grip...
