Was just digging through the US and Euro ETKA.  It appears that up to the
color change of the curtains from brown to blue/grey there were three
curtain types with no specific years of assignment.  There were different
designs as well as methods of hanging.  There were even behind cab curtains
as well in some styles.  It appears that some of it may be linked to the P
number.

When the colors changed, it appears the knobs disappeared and then you
picked up three different types of sliders/rails again with different styles
of curtains as well.

Very strange.  I can find no references to any years other than the division
with the color changes.  Some of the stuff is ref to models with a split at
year E (84) with mid year model numbers. But again has several styles shown
even for that.
