Magura HS33 Race-line

Few HS33 questions if anyone knows the answers:
1)What year were the HS33 ?
2) Was there a version without the little red dial on, or could you remove the red dial if you wanted ?
3) did the HS22 precede these and also come in yellow?
 
I found this suggested timeline comment on another website:

1st generation Magura rim brakes started showing up late 1990. The caliper has remained the same since. The lever/master cylinder, however, has gone through many incarnations.

The originals were all black, and had a crude lever with a resin blade, and the caliper mounts were cast aluminum with fixed offsets at the top of the mount.

2nd generation were the gray painted hs22's - came with silver lever blades, no pad adjust and the Evolution caliper mounts with the ball mount and micro adjust top finger to the hardware.

3rd generation were the Race Line and Race Line D's - pretty much the same as the HS22's, but with neon paint schemes - and the D's has a smaller bore on the master cylinder for better braking power. These were about 1995-96.

They stayed the same other than the addition of the pads contact adjust wheel on the front of the lever blades in 97-98.

In 2000 ish, the new lower profile levers were introduced in multiple colors.

I think in 05, they inrtoduced a newer lever still, and last year in 2011, yeat another - but the calipes/slave cylinders have remained unchanged.

At some point, the top mount for the "finger" adjustment on the evolution mount changed from a tapered press-fit to a circular tooth pattern to help maintain adjutment, and increase durability.
