The lighter coloured ones look like the Tamiya TRF Titanium ones. Are they out of a Tamiya packet ?

they all came with a trf416 i bought and were in opened tamiya packs without tags

Not easy to tell. Ive never seen any of the darker ones in Titanium by Tamiya and i have had half a dozen of the TRF tourers. You`ll probably be able to bend the alu ones pretty easily with your fingers but not the Titanium ones. If they bend then bin them

as far as i know the lighter colored ones are the TI and the darker ones are the stock alloy.

I've got a few of the shorter Ti ones in darker blue.
The larger Ti ones seem more greenish blue.

Titanium doesn't take anodizing well so come out pale, where as the alloy ones come out the same as all the other alloy products. I've got both and the 416 has alloy ones :)

As well as the colour you can see the titanium ones have a different shape too, the alloy ones are squarer :)
