white drop boxes? Did CRL change randomly? Should be gray, right?

Did somebody (accidentally?) change the CRL away from 'gray' drop boxes and to 'white' drop boxes? I noticed this a month ago or so and thought it might get highlighted by now, but perhaps not.  The photo is still correct but the text doesn't mention gray. I could have sworn, earlier in 2017, it definitely said gray.  Here is the current link and text:

Belt
For 501st approval:
  • Belt face is made of plastic (TK ammo belt).
  • The soft belt proper is tightly woven nylon/cordura like/style material or material with a tightly woven nylon/cordura like/style covering. Size is 2.25" (57mm) to 2.5" (64mm) wide. The color is white to off-white.
  • The drop boxes are painted white and dangle from the sides of the plastic front belt (ammo belt) via white straps and are aligned under the plastic tabs of the ammo belt.

 

For level two certification (if applicable):
  • The belt material is lightly aged (battle worn), but not weathered like a Sandtrooper (TD).
    • Leather and vinyl are not accurate.
  • There are two square buttons, one on each end of the plastic ammo belt.
    • The center square button is not accurate.
  • Belt face(TK ammo belt)and drop boxes are lightly scuffed (battle worn), but not weathered like a Sandtrooper (TD).
For level three certification (if applicable):
  • The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle.
  • Drop boxes are closed in the back.
  • The belt proper shall have (eight total) white rivets. Two rivets close to each side of the thermal detonator, and two rivets approximately an inch away from the edge of the ammo belt (The rivets form a rectangular pattern).
