The toptube factory decal is still there so the bike wasn't repainted and the grey color was one of the two options that year.
One difference between my bike and the catalog specs/picture is mine has downtube water bottle braze-ons. The catalog doesn't list them in the braze-on summary and the illustration doesn't show them. Mine are obviously factory, not later additions, so all I can figure is that Trek changed the specs after the catalog went to press.
