My guess is they didn't have the CII decals in all colors so mine just reads Colorado. I'd be interested in comparing serial numbers. I'd guess mine is also 1992 as it's the fully lugged version.

The serial number of the onyx/emerald bike is 3700 and the samurai orange bike is 3355.
As for lugs - the orange frame has a full lower head lug. Both the upper head and seat lugs are half lug/half fillet.
The onyx/emerald frame is all half lug/half fillet.
Both have the full BB shell.
I never truly understood the mixed construction methods but in talking to owner of my LBS, which was a big Serotta dealer back in the day, it seems like they used what was on hand when the order came in.
