Are we looking at the same photo? I don't see anything remarkable between the C8 and C9, and I don't see a R38a anywhere (though R38 is near). However, your description of "underlining the C8 label" does a good job of pointing to what I had originally interpreted as a wrinkle in the conformal coat -- is that truly metal shavings? Yoicks.

My not-so-old eyes do deceive me...It's R38, and the dirty via beside it looked like an "a"

Of course that would've been the first time ever I've seen a layout labelled with trailing letters, but I digress =).

We covered our control board with an old team T shirt a couple of times, but we might want to figure something else out- the shavings stick to to fabric.
