SLK/R170: 2002 interior roof diff color?

2002 interior roof diff color?
I test-drove a 2002 SLK 230 today (been drooling over the SLK's for a couple years - about to make a dream into a reality!). It was black w/black interior. The dash, seats, console - all were black. But the interior of the roof was tan.
Does this indicate a replacement part? I can't imagine it was manufactured that way.
And if it was replaced, how do they expect to get away with that? The Carfax report shows no damage, but I suspect there's something going on.
Should this be a red flag?
Thanks! I love reading the posts from other enthusiasts here!

I drove a 1998 SLK 230 today. Black on black. Same thing: all black interior, but tan interior roof. I take it this means it was in fact manufactured that way. Good news, because I loved that 2002 yesterday!
Thanks for the replies. I will post my pic when I bring her home!

Got my SLK!
Well, I got my SLK 230 today! I am a very happy and proud owner!
2000 SLK 230 with under 35k miles. Black exterior and black/tan two-tone interior. I can't stop looking at it.
I have a few questions about some things, but I will read the owners manual and other posts here before posting my queries.
My pics soon to follow....

Hello to everyone.
Just thinking about interior roof colours. My 2002 SLK200 is Lazulite blue with grey leather, and it has a cream coloured interior roof. I think the lighter colours are used on purpose so when the roof is up, the car doesn't feel as claustrophobic as it would if the roof was dark.
