Motorworks 1/32 Panzer III Oddity

I completed a rather sizable trade with a member some months ago and I came across a 21st Century Panzer III that caught my eye. At first glance it would appear to be a custom painted one because the scheme that it carries is completely new to me. Upon closer inspection though the evidence ponts to it actually being a factory paint job. It carries the dunkelgelb base with olivegrun spots, the complete opposite of the motorworks panzer III I have in abundance in my collection. All the markings are exactly the same though, including the tac number, and the elephant. Does anyone else have this version? Pictures are below:

I have one also, and they were sighted elsewhere way back when...there was some speculation (on this board, I think) that a batch of them got the colors reversed on the production line...IIRC (a dubious proposition at my age), these were from the kit versions...

That's a nice pz III, I like the "kursk" style paint scheme as well. I need to pick one of those up one of these days. :D
