Default Navigation bezel - have they changed color/design??

So this started recently when I ordered a nav bezel from a Dodge dealer in the US. When I received it I noticed the color isn't the same. I have a Sport so it's just the silver color with black design on it. The new one though is just plain silver, kind of looks like stainless steel. I liked it more though so put it on anyways!
Now my buddy orders one for his Laramie which has the fake wood pattern. The new one comes and looks NOTHING like the OEM design. The new one is much lighter and completely different pattern. So now the pattern on the doors and down around the cup holders doesn't match at all.
Has Dodge changed the bezel design/pattern lately?? His truck is an '08 so even newer than mine. We both verified our Mopar part numbers are good too.
Thanks!

Possible they got a different vendor. Happens with my military/government parts all the damn time. New vendor is usually crappier.

Well that sucks for anyone that needs to replace one with the wood trim.
Will have to try and find a place that has older stock.
