Silver Label 64

I don't, but I believe the same motherboard revision was used for a while into the "rainbow" series. The funny thing is that among hardcore collectors, a silver label C64 can be quite attractive but in the wild with noone watching the auction, the same unit can go for peanuts, equal or below the average breadbox.
 
There are many variants of the C64, even if you don't count the country differences. Same thing goes for the variants of the 1541 drive. There is the VIC 1541 in VIC 1541 box, there's an "Alps 1541" with the newer box but it came with the old manual, there's the Alps 1541 in the newer box with the newer manual, there's the side-hinged 1541, etc. Obviously they bought things in bulk.
 
Thus is the beauty of a mass-produced computer - slight variety between generations of the same product lead to interesting rarities. :)
