Do the early models of the Nashville 400(chrome hardware)have a 1501 or a 1502?

What about the later model with the black hardware?

I think the model with the chrome hardware came with a 1502 and the model with the black hardware had a 1501 but am not certain.

Thanks in advance to those that have the answer.

From a "white paper" by Mike Brown (Peavey)...

"In the early 1980’s, we introduced a new line of amplifiers called the City Series. In this series, we offered two steel amps, i.e.; the Vegas 400 and Nashville 400.
The Nashville 400 has been our most popular model to date and was in production for eighteen years. It was available in a small size cabinet and was capable of producing 210 watts at 4 ohms. Up until 1985 we used a 1502-4 ohm Black Widow speaker in this version. It was later changed to the “revoiced” 1501-4 ohm version."

here's my related question:

if someone has the EARLY N400 with the 1502 - I've heard peavey later changed the amp circuits to be better voiced for the "new" 1501 - if you put a new neo/std 1501 into one of these early 1502/N400's what can you expect sound wise?
