1984/1985 Battlefield Accessory Packaging Variants

I was prepping a lot of my duplicates for sale on ebay and noticed this...

The 1985 re-release of the 1984 Battlefield Accessories (Mortar/Missile/Machine Gun Defense Units) have deeper boxes with subtle text and image rearrangements. See pics.

(The Triple Win box is the '85 release.)

This is so esoteric, it will probably only interest like 3 or 4 people, but I thought I'd post.

I'm one of the 3 or 4. Thanks for posting John. Now I gotta see which version I have haha.

wonder if the paperwork inside (the p/n) is changed ???

The '85 one has sealed contents that I don't want to open. But the exterior reflects an "assortment number" (?) change.

1984: E 6652 6128 ASST
1985: E 6652 6129 ASST

6128 corresponds with '84's battlefield accessory releases and 6129 corresponds with '85 releases. This is corroborated across other small accessory packs from my collection.

This is one of the things I submitted a long time ago that never made it to the archives like so many things. There are quite a few like this and also the flag points have different values between the boxes.
