Another L1A1 scope inquirey

Here are some pictures of the R.G. L2A2 144grn green spot, and black spot both are from 1990’s. The white box (black spot) is batch 27.04.90 A4/1818, and the brown box (green spot) is 19.03.90W. I understand that Green Spot Target or Sniper ammo, was taken from the first say 1000 rounds of any one batch, this was to ensure tolerances are kept tight and not lost suffering from tool ware etc….

I do remember seeing Green Spot in Grey boxes in 1995, and then Blue boxes sold for commercial use in the 1999. Then the R.G. Comp 155grn took over in year 2000 or 2001. Later I understand that in 2003 R.G. 155grn L42A1, was the norm. I would agree that some batches do have “flyers”, and this apart from other reasons is why the main Imperial Meeting changed to RWS Ruag 308/7.62mm in 2009.
