My XS1B lost it's original seat long before I got it. In pictures the "YAMAHA" lettering on the back of those seats looks white, but I'm told by MikesXS that their seat has gold lettering. Can anyone who still has a stock 70-73 seat confirm what the original color is?

All the pictures I've seen look white too but Mike says it's supposed to be gold. I think we need someone who knows for sure their seat is original to give the answer. The thing is I already bought the seat. Actually he sent me a seat for a 74 by accident so it is going back, but I'd still like to have the right seat.
