Just noticed my DF-2 label is wierd... Looks like a Type 5 with a MIT serial sticker added. Serial number decodes to May 1989 which is right in the transition period... this looks to be a new type of transition label. Base is untouched (screws never undone). No sign of paper label inside. Looks completely original to me.
Interested in opinions... ?

I have a CH-1 AA57116 from August '89 MIT with the sticker inside the batt. comp.
So thing are overlaping a bit I guess.
Maybe production of the DF-2 was still in Japan when they started with new serial numbers and the CH-1 started right off in Taiwan or vice versa 
I'm also interested in the color of the components of your df-2
Wild guess: if it was MIJ orange and MIT silver
We got 3 so far:
mesjoggah's df-2 serial 470600 oct. '84
my df-2's MIJ 867782 jan. '88 MIT AC11598 dec. '90

| I think this is the exact same as the type 5 label except is has a serial number sticker attached. Are there any text differenced that I missed? |

Here are the internals of the beast. I can confirm it had never been opened.

I have a GE-7 with that type of label,
Pedal was made in '89, and I bought it myself in 1990. |

| Ah... that makes it "official". I guess we now have a "Type 5C". |

Eh I posted a bit too quick, mine is a Japanese pedal, but does have the new Taiwanese code on bottom of the backplate. So that makes mine different compared to what you mentioned.
Tried to look for images of all the different backplates, could no longer find it [impatient??!] |

Now I'm prompted to look, I've found another one - identical to the DF-2 one I posted above, but its my PH-2. Type-5 label with Taiwan sticker: OA28613. Decodes as May 1989.
Bossarea, there is definitely a "Type 5C" label. |

Don't think I'll add it as a separate label. The label is still identical. The one pictured on the current label page is just missing the serial number. Instead I'll add a text note that the label may be found with or without a serial number sticker.
I've started re-writing the label page completely. When I initially wrote it I wasn't consistent so there's no rule to determine if a label is a new type or a B or C subtype. On the new page I will say it's a new type if the text has changed. If only the colour or country of origin has changed, it will be written down as a subtype. |
