I'm amazed that, despite the head being rotated, it's actualy printed
level. That's gotta be a misprint!

Follow-up from:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1207021
Peeron has the the earliest version, in which we can see white
and light gray
I do have another version with ID 120530, that has extra pages 16-17.
On the insturctions page 16-17, there are white
and light gray
and on the extra pages 16-17, there are light gray
and black
Question: in what set and which version of insturctions, light gray
is used?!
Answer: set
So TLG did a back and forth 6540a-6540b-6540a
Questions 2: Is there any difference between white 6540a (from 1994) and light
gray 6540a (from 1999)?
****************
There are 20 of black
used on both versions as follows:
2 page 12 step 14
2 page 20 step 21
2 page 24 step 24
4 page 36 step 5
4 page 36 step 6
2 page 37 step 30
2 page 38 step 31
2 page 42 step 7
2 page 43 step 8

Almost certainly a misprint but something that I think will be worth something
to the right person as its set at a nice rotating angle and whilst you can always
set heads at a full 90 degrees where its facing out from the side that angle
always looks a bit forced. I think someone would appreciate something like that
for a display scene compared with always having their astromech droids facing
forwards the whole time 
In fact rather than re-releasing almost identical R2-D2's it would be a nice
touch if Lego intentionally made some like this to give a bit more variation
to what is otherwise a difficult minifigure to make look unique when compared
with other minifig characters.
I have lots of those heads and they look to all be facing forwards from what
I can tell

Of course with it being a relatively new set there is always the possibility
that someone doing the set inventory assumed it was the same version as what
appears in the other sets but given the Lego site has images of this minifig
facing forwards I can't imaging it to be an intentional difference?
