[pianotech] Clear green plastic Vagias replacement elbows?

Ok, so I just sold an elbow replacement job to a client with a very "low
miliage" '51 Lester with crumbling plastic elbows.

It turns out I have a bag of Vagias replacement elbows in stock, that were
given to me by a recently retired tech...
They are not the early cream/white colored plastic that I have heard were
problematic, but instead they are a transparent green-tint color. Not a
strong green, but still very different from the current glass-clear elbows
sold by Vagias. Other than they they are the exactly same "clip-on" design.

So question: Should I use this set, or buy some brand new ones? Am I risking
them re-breaking in a few years?
Anyone else run across this batch type?
