Yes they did Justin. Here's a couple of not so great photos of a couple of my old ones. The one with the small spacer at the guard has the red/brown bone hard spacer material and the other has the micarta spacers. It's a bit hard to get the color to show, but they're both reddish brown and the bone hard material is even more red than the micarta.

Just another shot of the 1969 119 with the Hard fiber

Buck began using micarta spacers in 1969 and the color can differ from red to brown and get as dark as almost black. Bone hard fiber was used from 1963 to 1968-69 and is a redish brown color and stays close in that realm.
