Could be a lot of different reasons the original 1977 to 1982 flat faced console was replaced.
Could have been damaged.
I have also heard of consoles being stolen out of the boat when parked right in front of the house...
The owner at the time preferred the newer style console with the controls located higher up...
The only way you will ever know is to contact any and all of the prior owners to see who did it and why...
Otherwise, no big deal...
