If they're really darkbacks they have yellow numbers. Like this other '57 darkback with black parts currently out there. Also notice that the darkbacks can fade as well.

Oh yeah, darbacks usually seem to have black plates as well.

It seems the brown back covers are on all GTs except some of these 57s with black hardware.

Okay, between you and Green Manalishi,
I know nothing about backplates on GTs. :lol2

[I think you two switched them out with each other for this thread. ;)]
