Anyone know if there's a reason why the outer tail-service masts (I assume
that's what they are) are grey, and not white like the center ones? Since
they've been there (unused) for the previous launches, it's not as though
they need to be refurbished differently...

They haven't had their protective layer of ablative applied yet. Evidently,
Boeing didn't feel it was needed for the single-CBC vehicles.
