Early Dream wiring harness question

My 1961 CS72 has a black wiring harness. It looks factory, but I expected it to be gray. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks, Paul

My C71 also has a black one..
Have you seen the year printed on all the wires? don't know why they did that..

Yes, it's got a tag that says 1962. There were actually two wiring harnesses, two rectifiers, etc. stuffed in the bike. Not sure what the plan was there... Maybe they were doing that NASCAR thing in case one ignition system failed... the other harness doesn't have a tag and I assume it's the original 61.

BTW, was at a friends house last night and he picked up a 1960 C72 in rough condition, another one of those "A" serial numbers...
