Dates on G1 sea pony shells?

[Gingerbread]

I was curious what the 2nd set of sea pony's shells dates are on the bottom? I only have the 1st set of shells, all dated 1984 and I know the second set came out 84/85 so I'm just curious if they're dated 1984 too? I'm trying to find an easy way to tell the greens apart, sometimes people's pictures aren't that great with the lighting and I'm not always sure.

The dates indicate when the mold was made; so they should be the same. The easy way to tell them apart is by the number of holes in the bottom of the shell. The first set has only one hole in the bottom while the second set has three holes.
