RC10 Graphite.
I was sorting out my new screws ready for the build and noticed there are 3 different styles of the same screw.
Here are the 3 differences from the dark green re-release screws to the light gold original and noticed that the other screw has a single raised dot next to the cross. The first screw has the raised dot at approx 11.00 o'clock on a clock.. Sorry for poor picture. Click to enlarge......
