While I have seen orange JBLs used in Fenders, somehow I don't remember D120Fs ever having orange dust covers. A new one on me if it's true.

I have owned several...singles and loaded in guitar amps/cabs...I never saw an orange dust cover.
Not saying it is not possible....I have see a lot of them, but I have never seen an orange one.:dont-know
Some times Fender had the speaker basket painted orange,,by JBL
Yes,
An example with my old Fender Twin Reverb Silverface 1980.

Yes, as I noted, I've seen lots of orange Fender baskets, but never an orange dome.
Anything's possible, but I have some experience with speakers and other aluminum trimmed audio gear that resided in night clubs for a few years. I found a coating of cigarette smoke on aluminum surfaces that looked just like the photo. It accumulated on dust caps and on the aluminum dress plate of a Shure Vocalmaster speaker so that it looked exactly like this. A very delicate test using a Q-tip and some ammonia should reveal the truth. If it's a factory coating, ammonia will not damage it. FYI it took a whole half-gallon bottle of Windex to clean the gear from the club. Can only imagine what coated my lungs....
This seems to come up about every 8mos - just infrequently enough to forget. If I remember, it usually ends up that everyone has seen them, JBL did make them with Orange/copper dustcaps for Fender, but no one at JBL was there when they did it...

THAT would be ALOT of SMOKING! LOL.
I worked in nightclubs that used aluminum dustcap drivers in the 80,s and early 90,s. WHEN smoking was still allowed. Never saw one with nicotine stains like that!
I have seen the white interiors of cars owned by heavy smokers turn yellow/brown, though! But, if this was nicotine stain, wouldn't the cork gasket also be seriously discolored? they look original. My guess is someone used a spray tint coat to color them, maybe they thought it looked cool.
ROTFLMAO.

do a search for 'orange' & 'cap' at once. Here it was a D110F

YUP, cause that is definitely a tint coat, no nicotine there!~
