Any Production 516s with the Striped Bag?

Were there any original, unaltered production 516s that had the V-stripe bag used on the 513 to 515?

I'm also talking about the prototype 516 that Charles brought up previously, which had that bag design... and maybe even the belt lifter that goes back to the 509.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. Because the 516 instruction booklet shows the machine with the new "logo in a circle" only design.

I actually wanted to point out the 510 video that was shot by Jeff Parker actually has a 10-blade metal fan, too (like Reggie Ridlen's 510). The motor RPM may itself be slower, but the higher pitch seems to come from the fact the fan has 10 blades.
