As I test the waters of German leverlock collecting (a short test), I've acquired these 3 BÖKER pieces. The two 712R's are apparently red dyed bone and black Delrin (a form of plastic?), and the 715R is stag. I "think" 712's came before 715's(?), but I'm not sure if the "R" models came before or after those without the "R". I do not know the ages of these knives...

Nice and I own several including two I bought in Germany in 1986 and 1991. Those are the best lever locks. Here are a few of mine. I no longer own the one on the bottom which had been sharpened and if I had known back then that autos would become legal for carry in my state, I would have kept it.

The 712R did come before the 715R marking. You will find 712R’s in stag. They must have given the stag scales version its own model number at some point.
No, I'm not happy to see you, that's my 12cm "Red Rose" in my pocket!
