I think it's a rebuilt 21FJP22 where they put the band in stead of reinstalling the bonded glass. The bonded glass is what gave the old 21FJs the dark green appearance. A lot of them were done with the band in the 80s and 90s. I guess it was cheaper, and they were selling rebuilt 21FJs for $39 at most of the local rebuilders.
