Default GM Hydrocarbon Pattern

Did GM change the hydrocarbon pattern used on radio bezel between model years 2008/9 & 2010/11, if so what is the difference & can someone post pictures?

I don't have any good pics of the '08-'09 but here's one of Talon90's pics of the '10-'11:


Edit: I guess I forgot to answer your question......yes the '08-'09 pattern is different than the '10+ pattern.
