There was a yellow one, I found the now deleted listing on mp. I forgot to save the whole pic but this is the front. This was in Finland but idk if it was sold elsewhere.

There's a very short demo of the yellow Dirt Searcher on YT, which the poster identifies as a Model 1354A from 1971.

I've noticed that Hoover Ltd. produced the same model number in different color schemes; often for exclusive store models, but possibly also for other sales lines or for exports. The varied colors may also indicate production of the same model at foreign factories. Further, a different letter suffix on the model number seems to indicate production at a foreign factory.

 
Screenshots of the yellow 1354A and a catalog page, posted by Vacbear58 (Al) of the Sun Gold and Burnt Orange with Ivory trim Hoover Ltd. cleaners in that era, which may indicate its color scheme. Vacbear58 also stated in another thread that it was the German version.

1354 (1969) & 1354A (1970)

I discovered at least one difference between the Models 1354 and 1354A—the height adjuster on the latter. Here are eBay photos of the 1354:
