Thanks John

Mine is ISO400, with "Tri-X pro" in green and 400 in white. I accept the different packaging for different markets, but it is strange that I should have a different film speed. Also, why does it have "Tri-X Film for Ease of Processing" on the side?

I believe you have the new formulation. The old Tri-X (TX) has the name "Tri-X" in white lettering on a black background.

The new Tri-X has "Tri-X" in green lettering with the additional marking "400TX" on it. The "TX" is about twice the size of the "400" preceeding it. Tri-X Professional is ISO 320. The new version of it is similar using green lettering and the additional marking of "320TXP" on it. Kodak's web site shows pictures of the new boxes. They are noticeably different from the old ones.
