Gas Mask Bags, Interesting Color Question

I found these 2 Light gas mask bags side by side in a bin at a long gone surplus shop. I've seen millions of these bags with the light color material like the one on the right. But never saw a dark green one like the one on the left.

I decided to buy them both once I looked inside and saw the markings. Same date, same company. The only difference in the markings is that the dark bag is printed in red.

I posted this bag on a sadly also long gone forum asking if anyone knew why these were made in the dark material, and everyone there was stumped. Never seen one before either. There was plenty of guesswork, but nobody knew. So figured I'd ask here and see if anyone knew why the one was made with dark color. Guesswork welcome here too. Just and odd mystery to have fun with. Thanks. Enjoy!
