Well, an M with chrome body and black fittings is called a Panda. So
perhaps a black winder on a chrome body is called a Zebra.  Or a chrome
winder on a black body could be called a Skunk.

A black lens on a chrome body is called a Raccoon in the U.S., and a
Lemur in most of the rest of the world.  In Russia, it's called a Polar
Bear.

And an old Leica A with the vertical accessory-shoe rangefinder is
called a Giraffe.

Hey, this is fun!  Anybody have any more?
