Murray bikes on eBay

There is a seller on eBay with a couple of Murray bikes for sale. One is a track bike , the other is a white panel (1986) paint scheme; both are advertised with connections to the 7-Eleven team.

I wish the seller would post better pictures but there are a couple of things that interest me.
* shouldn't the team bikes have number tag mounts
* the color scheme (fade away direction) seems different than my 1986 frame below:

Bikes: Too many to list here check my signature.

Hard to say. Perhaps the number tabs were removed, or maybe these bikes were intended as trainers and didn't get tabs, if they were for a U.S. Pro Am team/Rider it's likely there were no tabs since I don't think a lot U.S. races used frame numbers. Just my opinion....

Differences in paint may just be the style of the painter that year.
