Tan color of U.S. Military MRE menu packaging changed?

Does anybody know if the U.S. Military changed the tan color of the plastic MRE menu sealed package in 2006 or 2007 to date?

It seems the 10-year Julian date-cycle of the tan color MRE's should have ended in 2005 (1996-2005). One person told me he thought they maybe are using clear packaging but wasn't sure.

Thanks ahead of time.

That's a pretty cool pdf, jubifahrer. I just ran across it for the first time a couple of days ago and it contains a wealth of MRE/ration information.
