Anybody ever saw that strange TI-89?

I found this image at http://www.technobuffalo.com/2012/12/25/the-best-tech-gift-ive-ever-received-the-ti-89-graphing-calculator/ but I never saw that TI-89 before. This one looks almost like a TI-83 but with renamed keys and faceplate. The real TI-89 was closed to the TI-86 in look:

I wonder if someone just had fun with Photoshop or if this might have been a very early preview of the TI-89?

I'm wondering if it's a later model..the 2nd/alpha key labels are centered. Afaict looking at datamath, only calcs later than the 84/89t are like that?
E: tho the only calcs labeled like that and aren't the curved case are the 76.fr and the 82 stats..might be a 'shop :P

I'm quasi-sure that this TI-89 exists, you may have noticed that Virtual TI (an emulator quite old now) uses this skin for the TI-89.

Looks like a mix between the "old one" and the 2003 new styled one(Can be found on Datamath).
Perhaps it's a fake?(Photoshopped)

This is similar to the one I've seen before.

But,
Take a look at the bottom right area, now look about an inch up. There is some symbols cut off. Obvs not real.

I don't remember if I saw it in person before actually, but if I did it was the first time I ever saw a 89 at all, because afterward I saw the ones with black borders. What surprised me actually is how the key layout is slightly different (the =, | and EE keys are not in the same order).

I wouldn't be surprised if this was an early 89 prototype based on the TI-83 or 73.
