No dates and I'm not one to know these things but could be. It was just plain and simple so perhaps a later war thing.

I don't know for sure, haven't researched, but there must have been some reason they changed, perhaps following the rule of the QMD specs to the letter...

It also shows that like the K rations, the coloured packages had to be used up before they could change?
