Nikon 300mm f/2.8 flashback

Back in August I reported about the silent change of the “ED” to “N” label on the Nikon AF-S VR 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens:

“Nikon changed the gold label of the Nikon AF-S VR 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED from “ED” to “N” (Nikonusa has the ED picture, Nikon imaging has the “N” picture) – this lens always had Nano coating, so this was not an update. Did anything else changed?”

Nikon_300mm_2.8

"ED" tag

Nikon_300mm_2.8_N

"N" tag

Could this have anything to do with the rumored replacement of this lens tomorrow? The new VRII is labeled with gold letters – the two images above still have the red VR sign.
