Epiphone SG Vintage G-400 neck binding?

Hello, I discovered something strange: According to the photos on Epiphone's own site and also on various retailers' sites, the Epiphone SG Vintage G-400 worn cherry seems to have neck binding, unlike all other (non-Ltd. or signature) Epi SG models, including the more expensive G-400 Pro, and even the same model (Epiphone SG Vintage G-400) in worn brown. You can see it here in the link below: just click on the colour buttons, and the neck "magically" changes from no binding on the worn brown model, to white binding on the worn cherry model. This seems kinda strange..? http://www.epiphone.com/Products/SG/Worn-G-400.aspx

A friend of mine owns an Ebony Epiphone ET-275, Japanese made, which came in Ebony and Cherry Sunburst. The Ebony came with a bound neck and headstock. The Cherry Sunburst did not.

Those Epiphone G-400 SG's with binding were only around for a short time.

I think 2006 was the year it stopped

However the old stock photos still crop up from time to time

on websites. Usually someone catches the mistake

and the updated photo is in place before long
