I have the square top. I think they went to this style in the very early 70's.
Both styles are excellent lathes. I have the rainbow dials to adjust speeds.
That's probably the difference. When I was researching which rest I had a gent in the UK said it was for a round top Colchester, so there must have been a change. No doubt both are great machines!
