Mills MRA two types of different brand ?

@salectric 
thank you
why you prefer the older ones: how do they sound compared to newer ?

so between both links what are the recent producion ?
what color ?

thank you very much!
 

i have two types of mills mra12
- the first one is dull brown and marked : "mills 1ohm mra12f 1019"
- the second one is shiny brown and marked : "mill mra12 1ohm 1% m1713 mexico"

like these:

what is the newer between the two that " is warm, not lean, slightly soft and dull, and doesn’t have quite as much detail " (salectric cit.)?

i’m refering to the color of boby not sound.

don't worry be happy, no problem :)
