After talking directly with SOA this afternoon, here is the latest information.

There ARE 15 windshields available for the SVX.
They are all blue. No bronze anywhere in the system anywhere.

SOA strongly implied that this part number is not superceding old part numbers and were combined into one, but rather a new part number for a remanufacture.

They said as the old numbers for both the bronze and blue glass were depleted from inventory, they ceased to exist. However, demand was still present so another batch was made to fill need, in one color only, with a new part number.

There is the possibility that the windshields are old stock that were in Japan, and recently shipped to the U.S., but they would have retained the old part numbers.

The concensus is that these windshields were recently manufactured (within the past year) in small quantities, with the new part number. They have been in U.S. Inventory less than 30 days.

When the supply is exhausted in U.S. inventory, they may add more, but only in the blue color. Maybe the color was altered slightly to be compatible with both interiors.
Cool. Here's hoping they do that with some other parts that are running low...
