As far as I recall, the early 85's (perhaps all the silver-nosed) had a
different formulation to the later 85's, which had one more element. In fact
i believe that the early 85 had one thick element which was replaced by two
thinner elements in the later formulation. Can anyone confirm this? I do not
have any documentation at work....
