Title: $25,000 Pyramid Question

On the picture above, I have a question about the microphones in the "Winner's Circle". As the show was always changed microphones during the run, were these used before or after the word: "New" was dropped from the title?

I'm not terribly observant when it comes to microphones, but looking at clips on YouTube, it seems the "New" version did have different mikes from the later episodes were "new" was dropped.

The mikes look different here in this 1983 "New" episode. I'd wager that the shot shown in OP's post is from after. I get a 1985-86 vibe from that, based on absolutely no sources.

It looks very much like the shots I've seen from the premiere season of "The $100,000 Pyramid" so likely was from the same promotional photo shoot...
