I don't remember seeing this variant before and it seems Safari has still a few interesting variants reserved to us. Those are first generation lemurs, from time to time it seems we find a variation or a subtle mould difference and those little Safari misteries are delicious. Congratulations for finding it. It looks an official model, maybe from a set or so.

I haven't seen it around before, and I only have a few old Safari catalogues. It doesn't look repainted to me, it has the same kind of paint and application as my other one, just different colors.

I like finding these sorts of oddballs. Its frustrating to see that they don't yield much information very often but... its rewarding to find such rarities.
