It occurs to me that the handles are not white after all, but a soft light gunmetal gray...

The handles appear white, gray or tan depending on the lighting.

They were initially white, yet once you get oils from the hand, dirt and various lighting conditions the color ends up more of a bone white but can photograph any number of colors.

Actually Kurok if memory serves it was Robn1 who originally pointed this out. I found the image of the GJ in my iPad 1 retinal display screen caps.

So basically, there's a lot of wiggle room when you paint them...

4 B&W Hero P2 poster with the B&W Hero P1s they were filmed with:
[ Charlie X ] [ The Enemy Within]
[ The Man Trap] [ The Man Trap ]
I have completed a slide show after looking even closer at the B&W P2s and the lessons learned from this thread. So I updated this post.
I will start a new thread about the B&W P2s next year.
Of note - there is no screw on the right side near the nozzle of either the B&W Finney P2 or the B&W Riley/Lenore P2.
The B&W Greg Jein P2 and the B&W Unknown P2 both had screws on the right side near the nozzle.
Since the front right side screw is not visible in the Engineering room scene in "The Enemy Within" (which is in the 4 B&W Hero P2 poster above),
I have included a zoom of the same B&W Hero P2 that Captain Kirk used to stun Dr. Crater in "The Man Trap" below:
The nozzle on this P2 is a cylinder.

Herocomm has completed a great analysis of the Beta Comm:
I agree with their conclusion that the jewel seen mounted in the one remaining hub / knob is not original to the prop and must have been added, post-series cancelation, by a prior owner.

That’s a relief. Now we don’t have to rethink the wheel, when it comes to the comms’ details.
Reading on the Herocomm site, another reference to a "secret" tell:
Common tells are listed here on the site.
There is an inscription on the inside of the comms, in a discrete place, that says “Wah Was Here”.

You're right! I hadn't noticed that before. But when you look at the hi-res images... it's quite clear.
