Red phone on desk in Thunderball.

Reboot

After JB gets his gear from Q in Nassau, the next scene is in the conference room back at UK HQ where M and other officials are getting the details by tape for the gem drop. On the desk are a green, black and red phone, but the red phone has blue tape securing the handset to the base. Is this security tape indicating a secure phone, or is it just a prop mistake? Was there really a piece of tape that had to be broken in order to use a red phone?
Thank you
