I hadn't seen this application book before, thank you for posting!

This one does have the silver-backed LCD vs. the yellow. However, in browsing eBay listings, I did see at least a couple EL-5100 without the "S" designator that had silver-colored LCDs. (I checked the item photos, not just the listing heading).

Not sure on other silver-backed ones for longevity, but I can see a little faint darkness trying to creep into the top-left side of my display.
