There was a run of M20Fs that had steel + lead counterweights on the elevator and that have now started galvanically corroding. Having your elevator counterweight depart your plane could be considered not good under most circumstances. The counterweights also could have migrated from the M20Fs, to M20C-G up to model year 1968 or so, so they are all part of the AD.
Smooth skin tail, seemingly not corroded:
Corroded:
Beaded elevator, different part, not likely (possible?) to have the bad counterweight:
