Aggressor progress

I'm trying to get around to working on the line of 414th/64th aggressors.  While trying to sort the proper decals, I now notice that the Two Bobs reprint of the Fighting Fulcrums is printed in much lighter grays than the original.  I'm not sure why this was done as all the reference photos I have show the markings in the darkest gray possible (although not black like all the latest aggressors - the third wave paint schemes as I label them). So now I have to source darker markings to progress.
