It's unusual that it has a white power switch. All the other regular Model 30s (not 30-286) that I've seen have a red switch.
I know sometimes around 1989-1990 both Tandy and IBM changed from red power switches and reset buttons to white, because according to a new government standard, red could only be used for emergency stop buttons/switches.
Maybe it just so happens that most Model 30s were made before that change, while this late-production one was after.
