No smooth plastic, except the battery cover. But I think that is by design. It does have the battery icon sticker. Modem card is yellow. RAM card is yellow on one side, green on other. Neither card has the customary deep yellow serial number label. When I take it apart again, soon, I will grab some more detailed pics. The more I look the more I think its just an early line pull. The only weird thing, to me, is the FCC number being a bad one - yet it is Apple's. "BCG" is Apple.
