Gray was the original cap which failed frequently. The green one is the new style cap.

But funny, on my 850 the grey cap performed better, and as soon as I switched to the green cap, the expansion tank thingy started to overflow. I guess it was an exception, and yes the green is the revised, improved cap as the 2 gentlemen above have stated.
