As a followup I did some more digging, and it appears that this set was likely
for the 35th anniversary for the WDR TV station of Cologne Germany. The special
edition with very rare WDR panels was for the 1 Jan. 1991 35th Anniversary of
the German TV network. More information and photos on it here....

There's even one for sale on German EBAY.
I do believe that as this set becomes more well known, it will increase in
value!
And of course it's part of my collectors guide! ;)
