I'm still a little confused on blacktop/silvertop.
Am I correct here:
All GU should have a blacktop from factory?
When I see a GU with a turbo silver top it must be a conversion?
A GU with a turbo black top may have been NA from factory? And if so, and the work is quality, is there anything to worry about compared to a factory turbo blacktop?

Yes. Silvertop means early GQ.

For sure.

Yes, it could have been NA, specially if the turbo is an aftermarket one.

I would always go factory. Add-ons I only trust the ones I added myself... If it was done by a big mate of yours and you trust his word on it, then sure, but other then that, how would you know?

Bear in mind that it is very very easy to swap a rocker cover over for looks.
My GQ has a factory turbo TD42Ti engine which should have a black cover, but I swapped it for my old silver cover for aesthetics.

Yep for sure. Just trying to compare apples with apples as much as possible. I'm not adverse to checking out a conversion but I reckon I'd give it a miss if it was a silvertop in a GU.

Maybe the engine number could tell you which series it was.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

The clock is ticking and I'm fully procrastinating!
I've definitely honed into what i want and i'm seeing a few about. It's been interesting watching the asking price change over the last 6 months from Covid, interest rate rises, rent going up etc..
