just done my first v9 black, power supply pcb uses totaly diff components,most main pcb components are by a diff manufacturer,under the serial no sticker on the main pcb,silver ps2 has long number inbedded in the pcb,black has 3 numbers only stanmped with ink stamp ,
both manufactured at diff factory is my guess
both made in china
black bios pads have no solder on them
working fine been on for 2 hours still booting fine

components on the board and serial no is best way to idetify,pads with and without can come from same factory,many machines will produce the boards ,setter can very easily set 1 diff to the other,but the factories will use the same components,ntil of course stocks run out then it depends were they buy from
