I imagine you're correct in that. My reason for wondering is that in
the Apple IIs I've seen the earliest had light green slots. Then I've 
seen slightly later ones with dark green slots. Then all the later
ones I've seen all had black slots. Seeing dark green slots in a version
of the motherboard where previously every one I've seen has had black
slots sort of jars.
Maybe they got a price break or maybe a shipment was late and they
picked up a few days suppy locally, who knows.
