Is GMT "Coke" bezel color different on a "M" watch?

I'm looking for a LNIB Z or M GMT "Coke" watch. Have my eye on a "M" code, but the red on the bezel looks a little darker, more like a maroon. It could certainly just be the lighting in the pics. Are the reds on the Coke bezels all the same on the late (Z-M) GMTs?

Thanks!!!

Between the Z and M serials they are the same, and yes they are maroon, not red like the pepsi GMT's.
