I have never seen a plain red insert (without the photo of the kid). Not saying it does not exist, but maybe a repro insert?? The one in the link is also missing the cello and the gun is in the wrong way. If it is real....I have learned something new. 8)
It does exist.
I bought it during the early 80s in a toy shop in Amsterdam, together with a bunch of ESB toys, brand new and state of the art way back when.
My bad for putting the rifle back in the wrong way, LOL!
I bought a couple of batteries and am planning to see if it's still in working condition.
I don't like the rifle with Pyjama Boy on the front. What *is* that kid wearing? A Star Trek Uniform??! Jeez!
I took some more photos:
