Rev.2 version 1 is Rosewood, has leather handband and doesn't have plastic angled connectors.

Rev.2 version 2 is Bamboo, which is what you have, can come in dark or light shades in colour but the drivers between all rev.2's are all the same, the reason they used a different material for the housing is because the Rosewood versions are prone to cracking near the headphone jack area (although not all have this problem, just inconsistencies through the batches).

And Rev 1 serials with Rev 2 drivers.
So the only conclusive way to know which you have is to check with Audeze.

However, the generous frequency response report included with every individual LCD-3 definitively specifies the manufacture date. Make sure you keep this datasheet

Am I correct to assume the cases you're referencing are where the headphones drivers don't match the headband or grills?

Pretty much what I said earlier in my post

 

This version can come in both Rosewood and Bamboo, though bamboo is the more common offering of the two in this version. The cracking of the wood in the previous versions were due to the design of the wood around the mini-xlr connection and not due to the type of wood. The benefits of the bamboo composite would be that it is a more renewable source than the rosewood, while also being slightly lighter.

 

Was there ever a Rosewood with black angled connectors?
