Well here she is, mommy to all the P80x series radios of this style, a P-755A... Like the others it's also listed as 1959 but from what I've been able to find, production no doubt began in latter part of 1958, probably as '59 model... The P-805A & P-806A came along very early in '59, maybe late '58.. Earliest I could verify is a P805A built 10th week of '59(roughly seven months prior my 806A)... There were no brothers or sisters, gray was only color offered... Yes in my lighting it appears a bit green... 

This should finish this thread, Jayce I hope you're not upset because I've trampled all over it... I figured it'd be better to share ideas and have most info on these in one thread...
