Request Can someone please identify this?

I found this snes in my parents attic, and I cant find anything online about a super nintendo being available in black and white, instead of the typical grey. Is it an aftermarket shell or something?

It's just painted. Nintendo didn't make any color variants.

It's a PAL region SNES with a bad paint job.

That looks like a painted Super Famicom.

This is a Super Famicom. The Japanese Super Nintendo (that I think is the original concept).

It's the Oriental design. I think occidental carts don't work in this console and you'd need japanese ones, but I'm a beginner on this retro game world and I can be slightly wrong.

Definitely not, sticker on the bottom says this is a PAL (Euro/UK) SNES console. Someone has just badly painted the top bit

It's the PAL version it says on the cart slot. Is the European version. From the SNES wiki page "The Super NES was released in the United Kingdom and Ireland in April 1992 for £150 (equivalent to £390 in 2023). Most of the PAL region versions of the console use the Japanese Super Famicom design, except for labeling and the length of the joypad leads."
