The earliest 707's had instruments that did not allow for speed bugs. Later when they changed the instrument lighting to an internal source white lighting, the bezel on the AS indicators allowed for the little white bugs that could be moved for the various takeoff and approach speeds.

Or at least that's how I remember it.
