Were there three finishes for the F3/T?

So, there are the "champagne" and black finishes, but wasn't there also a "natural titanium" finish (a somewhat dull silver looking finish)?

In book 3 of Jason Schneider On Camera Collecting, the cover photo (in color) seems to show this finish. Also, I seem to remember a magazine article by Jason mentioning this third finish. Yet, I have never seen one.

What say you?

No expert but I'm sure the Titanium finish is that dull Champagne colour. Titanium finishes seem to hover between dull silver and dull gold.

The F3 T version had all the vulnerable casings of the F3 T made in titanium, and was only available with the HP finder.

The first series have the original silver finish of the titanium metal, while the later F3 T’s have a black finish.
The camera can be identified with the addition of a T after the F3-logo and its textured surface.
