Same for finish. Moots does not have identical finishes over the years. Its likely a bigger variance between year models than between sl or regular if there even was a difference at all between those.
Once the Compact was introduced only the SLs were made with the full Ti hanger and two cutouts. The pre-Compact Vamoots may have had full Ti hanger but no cutouts. Happycampyer can clarify.

As for the finish, the color and texture may be process dependent and, who knows, 2006 could have been the pinnacle of Moots Bead Blasting. In any case, every model I've seen and owned in the last 10 years is a variation of the same and none look like my SL. It's just a shinier, lighter gray.
