Yep.
//e #1 ("Rev. A"): White letters on keys, no double-hi-res graphics
//e #2 ("Rev. B"): White letters on keys
//e #3 ("Enhanced"): Black letters on keys--open and closed Apple
                     symbols are smaller, new CD, EF, and MouseText
                     ROMs, 65C02 CPU
//e #4 ("//e+" ?): Platinum colored case, numeric keypad, RAM
                   consolidated into only 2 chips(?)

The end of the motherboard (the side with the chips) near the //e's
back will have a -A or -B, differentiating the 2 older revisions.
Example revision A number:

987h956ihgtt987gbv5h-A

Example revision B number:

987h956ihgtt987gbv5h-B
