They could have either, I hope you get the switch you're looking for! :)

I bought three cherry g80-8200's for $40 shipped on ebay. The serial number is G80-8200lpbus/09 . Are these mx clears or browns or could they be either? Thanks!
That is an excellent deal either way.

L=Lasered keycaps, P=PS/2 connector, B=Brown switches, US=US layout.
The LUVEU boards have Clears, LPDUS have Blacks.

8000 series is exception to the model codes. Usually have browns, sometimes clears. Same model codes can have either. They are not available in any other switch types that I have seen, barring user Frankenstein.

Ivan the Cherry encyclopedia to the rescue! That's very interesting and... inconsistent of them. Thank you for correcting me, I was just going by the codes on the DT wiki.

Do you know what code differentiated the keyboards when it isn't the model number? I mean where these kind of a surprise package and the customer didn't know which switches they'll get on the board? That sounds odd.

I believe most of these where made/sold to companies as point of sales keyboards, or part of a whole computer system. Most of the consumers wouldn't know enough to differentiate between these and rubber domes, let alone switch type.

The labels look exactly the same except for the serial numbers.
I see. Thanks!
