They will be stained to a medium oak colour thus masking the differences. The panels have been sorted so the exposed surfaces of each book case matches as close as possible. Each bookcase can be different colour and make them all the more authentic as in practise they would have been acquired one at a time.
I will experiment with filler but in the past when using stains, I've found it can make the filler very visible due to differential adsorption of the dyes in the stain.

I have the Wadkin AGS 10
and the manual shoaws dado and moulding heads in use :-)
I have no fear of them at all .. I love the quiet whisper they give when spun up .
I have bought a spindle moulder .. not set up yet due to space, but I guess when it's working , it will be the best of both worlds .. although I use the TS for just about everything .. and everything it's not supposed to be used for ! lol
