There are modifications that give advantages similar to these in nature. What comes to mind is putting tape on the sides of the puzzle to hold it together + make the clock stand up straight instead of tilting, similar to how the Angstrom will stand up straight due to straight edges. Would this regulation disallow these being used?

I wouldn't consider that unfair advantage, but I recognize it can be ambiguous

Maybe a clarification telling that this is not prohibited would be fine, do you agree?

another example would be a top row of dials having a different plastic color than the other dials. There are a few different ways that similar things can be done so I believe that wording the guideline in a way that states that any modifications allowing competitors to more easily recognize puzzle orientation should not be considered an unfair advantage, a second guideline giving an specific example like the tape example that Jacob gave or the dial example that I gave could also be a helpful addition.

I think it would be beneficial for Delegates and competitors to see the Clarification F1a1+++ in this regulation (That an extra should be given if the competitor sees the puzzle). The way the regulation is currently worded, it may cause some confusion and judges / competitors may allow the attempt to continue and proceed even if the competitor saw the physical puzzle.
It would also be beneficial to define the case where the puzzle falls over during inspection (ie after the cover is lifted) as some may try to apply this regulation to that case, which would not be correct.

This last sentence of this regulation seems to vary a bit from other regulations that involve delegate discretion. Perhaps something like the following would fit better?
‘The result may stand if the competitor did not gain an unfair advantage, at the discretion of the WCA Delegate.’
