Finding good repro LWB belt covers is tricky. A while ago Team Bluegroove had a new version of the LWB cover, which was basically an SWB cover with extended front part, so the angle of the sloped top cover was off. Also the edges were not as crisp as an original one. Later they decided to go for a dedicated LWB repro cover, using a new original cover to make a new mold, and this cover is much nicer. I didn't fit it yet, as by the time the improved version was ready, I had already bought an original LWB cover, but side to side the new version looks like it's spot on.
As for the color of the original Mid covers, if Fireboy says early versions had clear covers, it's very well possible. As mentioned earlier, the Mid also came with different versions of the white wheels, and there may be more subtle difference that were cut in during the time the kit was being produced.
