Some 700 series - particularly the 700D's for the U.S. market had a similar radome to the 810.
I think many 800s had radar retro-fitted (particularly the BEA/BA ones), and this resulted in a much smaller 'cap' fitted to the nose rather than a full radome, and this cap was often painted in the colours of the fuselage rather than black.
