Default Ycp piston question

I'm building a beater b20 motor using ycp brand pistons. Typically on the stock replacements with the moly coat it's of the grayish hue, but when I opened these they were green coated. I'm just checking to see if anyone knows what the difference between them is.

Yes. But the skirts are green. When I host this image I'll post. I've assembled the engine already and the fell within spec of what oe calls for. If they fail I'll know not to use them again

I didnt look up your specific pistons, but I found out some pistons use a green teflon ptfe coating. Sounds like thats what yours have. The black/grey ones are sometimes graphite but I think they also have black/grey teflon coats on others
