Anyone know if these came with the plastic overlays? Interesting extra expense on Roland's part if so.

Roland JD-800 Synthesizer SN AC80403

via this auction

Unless JD-800s shared serial numbers, it looks like this one suffered some damage since 2015.

"One of the BEST sounding, and versatile synths made. TONS of sliders for editing, for endless sound combinations.
condition looks very good, with a side cap that had a crack in the plastic. (cosmetic thing) super sound. all the keys, knobs, switches, sliders and controls work. this one is must have for the studio, or for live work. it has a MODIFIED power cord, which works, but is not the correct one. because of the age, condition, electronic, and USED, it is sold AS-IS"

KORG-800 DV SN 770300

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Here's one of those odd things I never noticed before. Take a look at the serial plate on the back of the synth. You will see KORG-800 DV, not KORG DV-800. If you look at the manual you will see KORG800 DV. Note the spacing. Usually synths are Brand Name-#, Name #, or just Name#. You never see Brand# Model. Just thought this was a little odd. If you know of any other synths that do this, feel free to leave a comment.
