I think early ES's could have color coded lights and unpainted plastic bumpers.
If I'm right, the color coded lights were standard up to a certain chassis nr., so either ES or Turbo had them. However, the color coded lights used two parts (instead of just the black plastic one when things changed). I think volvo wanted to cut production costs, and overcome certain problems like it was necessary to withdraw the 1st part in order to adjust lights and the 2nd (the "case") could brake if the screws were overtightned.
