I recall reading somewhere that all of the A100 modules originally
had the flat red LEDs, and the Doepfer converted over completely to
the round orange-ish LEDs. I don't think any flat LED modules have
been produced since then, and it affected all of the modules, so it
didn't coincide with design mods as far as I know.

Its possible, though, that Doepfer has made changes to various
modules over time that haven't been reflected in version #s.

Maybe in a few years the flat LED modules will be considered a rare
collectors item ;-)
