The color scheme is really different 
Based on the below quote from Zimmers, the 2.50 "Markt & Technik" version is the absolute last "original Berkeley" version on C64, so our "3.53" should have Topdesk, and 3.50 still had the origonal color scheme. (Though it seems it could be "easy" to change it to English with HEX editor on disc files, just need to check the lenght... I need a try. would be a nice project)

The final worldwide version from Berkeley Softworks was GEOS 2.0, around 1988. This version included all the features of the previously GEOS versions, and added the following:
-Desk accessory "Pad Color Pref" added.
-New versions of "Photo Manager" and "Text Manager" released.
-Support for hotkeys in the deskTop
-New version of geoWrite with headers and footers
-TEXT GRABBER geoWrite import program included.
-geoSpell spelling checker program included.
-geoMerge program included.
-geoLaser program included.
The absolute final version from Berkeley Softworks, however, was GEOS 2.5. It was only released in Germany in 1993, in cooperation with Markt & Technik. This version is a bundling of GEOS 2.0 with the popular deskTop replacement "TopDesk", and a few popular freeware/shareware applications. Some of its new features over 2.0 include:
-New deskTop "TopDesk" with movable, resizable windows.
-Select Printer desk accessory
-Show Font utility
-Dir Print to send a disk directory to a printer
-geoText text editor that supports geoWrite docs.
-ScrapCutter desk accessory
-Switch utility to change running applications
