Gary,
I noticed a variation in the Garage doors that I have. Knowing how you like
variations, I thought I'd share. I have a red one with red weights & a red
one with clear weights. The R/R has a back with a X pattern; the R/C has a
smooth back. There is a variation in the Logo on the front, R/R has dots on
the side and R/C doesn't. Also, the two appear to be made out of different
materials, the R/C one is slightly darker red, has less-deep squares, and a
general different look. Hard to describe. I've uploade pictures of the
differences in a folder on Brickshelf:

There are other comparisons in there. If I got something wrong, let me know ;)
BTW, my white garage door has white counterweights.
Thanks,
Clark
