Yes, it is a bright glossy olive green, hard to describe, but the photo match the colour in a good way.

The MCWs are neat for sure, but they don't have the freeze dried entrees you find in the B RCWs. Speaking of older RCWs, does anyone know how to date them? I have no idea when my two are from and wouldn't mind knowing for display purposes :mrgreen:

I can get more detailed pictures later when I'm at home but I have this one from the auction when I bought them:

Looking at this pic I'm pretty sure you'll want better images so I'll add some in a couple hours. I'm thinking late 80's?

I'm having a bit of trouble finding info on what years these were produced by Rafco. Was it just 1989 or did they do it for a span of years? They weren't date-stamping the packaging for these so unless I had the box they came from I don't think I'll ever know exactly which year they were (unless it was only 89 I suppose). I'm wondering if the tape is a clue - most of the packages I've seen had them rubber-banded together whereas these were taped (although that could have happened later). Closeup on the contents:
