Default Timing lights w/tach

Does anyone have a SnapOn Timing light model MT1261A or MT2261A? I need to know what the difference is between these 2 models.

So far I noticed the MT1261A is Red
The MT2261 is Black

The black one has an LED display on it and I'm pretty sure the red one is a lesser model with just a **** on the back. Here is a scan from the 1997 catalog with the black one in it. Couldn't find the red one (MT1261A) in the catalogs that I have although this scan shows the MT1241.

Thank you 70s!
The reason why I ask is this week I bought what I thought was the Snap On MT2261A timing light, what the eBay seller sent me was the MT1261A.
The listing states MT2261A throughout, the picture shows a red light. I’m not comfortable with the switch, it could be alright or it could be the switch enhanced the sale. Before I contact the seller I want to learn more of the difference. Btw, the Red MT1261 does have a digital reading out.
