Scans of the stamp might be helpful!

According to my 2010 Scott Classic Specialized 186A is re-engraved. Both are copper red but with 186A the lines in the sky are much darker. I don't have the 186A stamp but according to what I have read it should be obvious if you look at the two stamps together! I doubt if that helps much but it's the best I can do. I bet someone here can show you a scan of both stamps!
