The blue dot and red dot were stuck onto the serial number space of replacement units for people with older 950's (September '02 for the red dot, December '02 for the blue dot). New units never came with the "dot" attached. Being new, your unit (although devoid of dot) is the "blue dot" revision with the DTS-ES fix.
