No, actually, there was a 562 "Sanitronic" released in 1962 which is marked model 562 on the builder's plate. In 1963, it became the model Sanitronic VII. The color of the trim is different. For the 562, it was a metallic brown. For the Sanitronic VII, it became the sirocco color Kirby still uses today for the older rebuilts.
