I have a bunch of the Israeli type 80 gas mask filters for my M15 (standard Nato 40mm).
They are all greenish tan colored and have 01 dates on them.
I found a guy willing to sell me 10 silver colored filters with 08/09 dates on them and was hoping someone could shed light on these.
Are these just newer versions of the "older" filters?
There are all made by Shalon, so I know it came from the right place.
Are these just a civilian issued version or what?!?!?
I cant see the military issuing silver cans!

Pic of "old" and "new" for reference:

I saw that already as I scoured their website, but that doesn't state which filter the flyer is referring to (it shows only the green/tan filters in the pictures)

Not sure how hard you scoured?

Silver ones right here (too). Green is military. Silver is civilian.

I fail to see where it shows the differentiation between the two...

Ummm... Your camo is useless with a 5" silver disk hanging off your face?
Same reason snipers don't carry disco balls.
