Dave,

I'd guess that green ones would have been delivered to USMC units.  But I 
either have or had (if it's still here I know where it is but haven't crawled 
into that corner in a long time) one that was gray.

There were more than two TCS boxes.  There was probably one for each type 
of power supply but at least the single dynamotor dual voltage units ordered 
on one of the TCS-12 contracts has one.  Its contents will amaze you.
