That pic has two extras that aren't mention in the manual for SJ, so it may be a later version of the range counter. I assumed though, that the red was a filter. The range dials are underneath and are as you might expect them to be. There is a control for the range dial illumination and having the dials enclosed wouldn't be out of the question and as red filters were used on other things... why not.
I've yet to get a good picture of the range dials, as the people who take the pics of the working sets only aim at the pretty glowing bits, not the dull auxilliary units right next to them, just out of shot. I assume they are of the same type as in the TDC range readout, just enclosed.
I'd welcome and pics though.
