Found these variations interesting

I believe the right order is...

No 'TM'
Red 'TM'
Black 'TM'

That is actually incorrect. For all G type boxes, the variations without "TM" attached to "Superfast" came after those with "TM". The timeline is not the same for all models, but mostly the "TM" was removed in late 1971 or 1972. I do not know the reason why.

You can easily deduce this if you look at the other variables such as presence or absence of "NEW" on the end flaps and absence or presence of the "Specification..." lettering on the end flap closers.

Everybody interested is encouraged to check out the illustrations on the G box page on my website:
