I am stumped by this, I can understand about the green armor, they did not save any, (Zeiss FLs the same story, a green armored one that needed a face lift would get black armor as a replacement). They, Leica, likely thought that to really get to the focus mechanism they had to remove the armor, and if they screwed it up, no green replacement - if they removed the armor, they could put black armor on it however you would be $%%^&* off since you wanted to keep the green, so IMO they never did anything to the focus. The red HD is befuddling, I have no idea why they would do that. Hopefully an explanation to you from Leica in the near future.
