No, just that the blue dials seem to be more desirable since from what I have recently learned they are from 71-72. Then there is the yellow dial which is '73 up a few years.
The axle is an open knuckle, just by the year it is and has disc brakes.

The dial is nothing special to the axle, just a year of manufacture clue.
I recently purchased this axle with yellow dials, and it doesn't mean that much to me since I am not putting it in a 1971-72 rig that is being OE restored.
The dial can be swapped out for what ever color you want really.
