L.C. 250 Mid-production changes
The spring-loaded lens hoods and L/D rings changed somewhere down the line; they were always made of plastic, but the one on the left has a polished-chrome appearance. The right camera, also, has an added "foot" to the metal bracket connecting the lensboard to the main camera body (under the #3 shutter lever).
Speaking of plastic, it seems the brushed steel exteriors of these cameras are, like the SX-70's, merely plastic coverings. The chassis, underneath, is made of metal. The shutter housings, however, may be metal but I'm not sure.
Not pictured is a decal atop the body showing where to attach the #268 flashgun on the old model; it was so-deteriorated, however, that I scraped it off and cleaned that area up.
The final change was that the viewfinder on the first-gen was larger, and smaller for the second model.
