Or it could just have had the keyboard replaced some time ago... Or C= had some spare red led KB's when they moved to new revision and decided to sell "mixed" units..
WhichAmiga can also be unable to recognize Agnus rev properly. Is your keyboard equipped with C= key in place on Left Amiga key? Is your Commodore logo an embossed mold directly in case, or is it a small C= sticker or maybe a bigger Commodore A500 one? For what I observed and also confirmed reading on Web: Early A500 (rev. 3 and 4, and some very first 5) have had "embossed mold" logo and Red Led KB with C= key Later rev. 5 had Red Leds and small C= sticker Latest rev. 5 was undistinguishable externally from rev. 6 - green leds and small C= sticker Rev. 6 AFAIK was only green leds and small sticker Rev. 8 was green leds and bigger sticker (same as A500+) |

But the keys seem rounded as if it were a Mistumi (=green led) keyboard. But I may be mistaken. Older KBs had more square shaped keys. Seems to be a regular rev 6 board. |

Indeed, it is not impossible for it to be a Rev6 with a red power LED.
