While I can't really tell due to the low resolution nature of the image, this does seem like a paint job and not really an official release of the time.

They do have some others alos, example:

this one is even on ebay somewhere

I suppose black AT cases are very rare, as I can't even remember coming across any AT towers that were not beige. One was even made fully from plastic 🤣, but unfortunately it was not one of the things I decided to bring home with me so I don't have it.

Black didn't become mainstream after the silver and the beige+some other color periods and I never even saw a silver AT case.
There are some AT cases that have ATX siblings. It's interesting looking at the differences 😜

Would it be an option to repaint a really ugly or badly scratched non-black AT tower??

You could always spray paint a tower.

That second pic there *really* looks spray-painted.
