Yamaha's ABS resin 300-series recorders: generation changes?

Looking at Yamaha's catalog of recorders, I see that those in their 300 series have model-numbers that end in either III (soprano and alto) or II -- does anybody know how these instruments might differ from previous generations? While my current interest tends more toward bass specifically, I figured I'd pose the more general question and not needlessly restrict the discussion for others who might have broader knowledge they'd care to share. Cheers!

Yea I have a YRA312B III. I've often wondered what the previous versions were like.

From my memory, there were plain brown ones & brown ones with a white/cream coloured fipple & joint, the first were cheaper, & to my mind not quite right sounding, I hardly played the plain brown ones, preferring the tones of the dual coloured ones, (but I can't remember their name/number).
