For DJub85 and anyone else that may be interested here are photos of a recent eBay listing which shows the two Electrolux Silverado versions together. The early ones, with the S_A affixes had the early Olympia One handle & finger grip carriers while the mid- to late ones had the two handles like the mid- to late- Olympia Ones.
It's a mystery as to why Electrolux would have gone back to the carrier style (& wheel diameter?) of the early Model 1401/Olympia Ones. I wonder if it had to do with using up overstock that had been discovered?
Additionally, the wheels on the early version of the Model 1505/Silverado appear to be slightly narrower to me, but perhaps I am thinking too much of the early Olympia Ones that did, in fact, have narrower wheels. Beyond that is the obvious difference in bag chamber screens.
Feel free to add your observations and comments.
Fyi, the serial affixes of the mid- to late- version in the photos are S_f. Other affixes I've seen are:
PR, PS, PV, PW, PX, SD, SH
The power nozzle models were PN-4A (early) and black PN-5 (mid- to late)
