Can somebody help me identify my Stanton 680 stylus?

It's entirely black with "STANTON" on one side and "D680" on the other. Is this an early version of the D6800EE stylus maybe?

I have another black Stanton stylus that is blank on one side and has the company name on on the other with a white oval dot. Anybody know what this might be?

Mystery solved!
