There is a picture of 3030 in it. You can't see the little numbers on the
face. But you can see that the face is distinctly different from the
others:
3131/00 with white arms, and 3 and 9 laying horizontally.
3131/01 with orange arms, with 3 and 9 upright
3030/00 with orange arms, and 3 and 9 laying horizontally.
Someone thought my dad had 3030/00. That's not what is in the car now.
I'll look through his boxes. But I definitely don't recall seeing an extra
clock.
