The 79-85 elevators definitely got a Gen2 mod. I could confirm because when I last rode them in 2015 I heard a MRL VF sound exactly what you'd hear on a MRL Gen2 but these Gen2's were NOT Mrl. Also I could tell because it accelerated like a rocket with a strong s-curve at 2.5 m/s.

You're probably right on those elevators.
