These two look different (and greener) compared to the rest of the parts; to
ensure that this is not just colour-variation/inconsistency (since TNG existed
over the course of decades and multiple changes to LEGO’s colour pallete), get
some known Trans-Neon Green parts and compare under the black light.

Those might be made of MABS plastic.

Maybe? LEGO started switching over to MABS around 2018, so we have around 3-4
years in which sets were released with Trans-Neon Green 1x1 rounds post-change.
The way to check this would be to get some Trans-Neon Green parts from one of
the more recent sets (2021-2022) and compare.

That is easy. Trans-Light Orange is only used for Clikits parts.

Green is lemon-lime, obviously!

Those all look like Trans-Neon Green. Trans-Neon Yellow has a slight orange tint
to it rather than the slight green tint.

Oh, and the Trans-Neon Yellow version of the part is pretty rare. It is difficult
to find one, so I doubt you would have a pile of them.

Trans-Neon Yellow doesn't look like Trans-Neon Green at all.

It looks a lot like Trans-Yellow. Randy is right that it has a slight orange
tint, but I wouldn't be confident in separating them without a black light.
Trans-Neon Yellow fluoresces. Trans-Yellow doesn't.

I'll repeat the other thing Randy said. You aren't just going to bump
into Trans-Neon Yellow.

I would suggest getting some parts that you know are Trans-Neon Green
(along with some Trans-Yellow as well) and just compare them. A black light would
also be helpful, if you have one, for differentiating between Trans-Yellow and
Trans-Neon Yellow.
Also, consider the source of the parts (if known); Trans-Neon Green was extremely
common (appearing across basically every theme over the course of around 30 years!),
while the Trans-Neon Yellow 1x1 rounds only appeared in one Belville set from
2005 (Set 5960).

Trans-Neon Yellow is actually one of the brighter fluorescent colors.

Photo 1: TNY on the left. TNG on the right.

Photo 2: GITD parts glow for quite a while after being exposed to UV light.

There are a few more neon colors that you’ll come across, almost none of which
are current anymore.

Photo 3: The pinkish part is Trans-Neon Red.
