Most likely they are manufactured on january 5 1980 and february 10 1980.
There must be quite a few, more than 50.

Black sounds like a refurbished (repainted) one.
Tan sounds about right for a series I, II and IIx keyboard.

They can all be used for I,II and IIx. They are more or less identical.

I would presume more than 50 are still around.
