Early units: black label and a slightly different SG-1000 logo (nicknamed 'German model'); on early boards the player-2 port protrudes from the body.

Details from sources

sega.jp: the label was black at launch and later blue, with a slightly different logo. ja.wikipedia describes three box versions (early yellow pastel box, mid and late silver boxes) whose pictured label colour does not always match the enclosed unit.
