Hi, Scuba;
I have a newer, Indonesian one and they have a different bezel. Also, their case AND bezel background color is black instead of brown; an ugly duck.
I'm not completely sure about it, but I suspect there are three types: some of the first "top-model" Pioneers had a protective "shield", like the one found in all Voyagers, but the newer models came without the protection and they have a recessed bezel frame around the LCD (you can actualy touch the LCD). I saw at least two HP42S with these different bezels. Also, my new HP17BII has a different bezel when compared to another earlier one I saw these days. The only source of information I have about the first HP17B (not 17BII) is the front-cover photo in my HP17B Owner's Manual, where we can clearly see it has a protection over the LCD. I am not sure if the first HP17BII had this sort of bezel.
Not much information, but I hope it helps a bit.
