A Nikon error?

I found this hybrid FE that looks like a chrome body but has four black parts: the front with the NIKON logo, the bottom plate, the film advance lever, and the base of the film scale index. Is it a joke or a mistake?

Someone used parts from both the chrome and black versions of the FE to make that one. Perhaps he needed the parts but could only find the parts from a black camera. Definitely not an error from Nikon factory.

probably a previous owner dented his black FE and had a replacement top cover from a chrome one

Yeah, that would be my guess too.
