I must just add - I'm based in Sweden, this could mean that there is a different style for the market that the bike was sold in?
I noticed your Swedish Miyata has a different head tube decal. All the American Miyayas i have seen use a variation of this "gear" design (this is a 1987 "Competition" model 512).
If the Swedish bikes used a different head tube decal, maybe they changed the contrasting head tube feature as well.
