Sku : 04-055

That would be an original eye jacket. This is a new eye jacket. Rounded hinge and not a molded icon.

That's the one Sharjt referenced above.

It does. Just can't get it to show up in pics. The gold doesn't show up well against the dark FMJ coating.

Correct it is a FMJ 45mm / Gold Iridium. The FMJs all had a Gold iridium lens option which came with gold icons and gold nose bridge logo.
There is one in my collection as well but it an Eye Jacket not a New Eye Jacket... If you want another example.
The O review's New Eye Jacket data base is not complete. The Electric Mustard wasn't there until I added it. Dann can only input what he knows and unfortunately the earlier stuff is hard to nail down complete listings.

Yup this looks exactly like the Original posters FMJ 45mm as explained above. Quite rear to find these Gold Iridium versions.
