The bags were just due to packing shortages / them needing to make extra. The german officer in charge of rations says they will always remain in the boxes because there is no extra space and they can be transported easily, where as with bags there is air etc

The tan bagged rations were needed due to a high demand for the exercises in Norway "Trident Juncture 18"
So they are "just" an exercise ration.

The cardboard boxed ones ares still the regular EPa´s.
