They are two different shades of Trans-Orange. This could be due to two reasons:
(1) if all of them have item number 6225 molded in them, then the color difference
is due to a big change that happened to this color in 2010 (the lighter ones
are pre-2010 and the darker ones are post-2010), or (2) if some have 6225 molded
in them and others have 28653 molded in them, then the color difference is due
to a material change in the last few years used for transpareent parts (6225
are made in polycarbonate and 28653 are made in "transparent ABS", known as MABS).
