ROO Box Set Question

Question for the AP experts/ other owners of a "Bumblebee".

What are the correct outer cardboard box and inner wooden box for a 2010 original sale date ROO?

My research and APNA conversation indicate that the outer box should be a green and white pattern cardboard that has AP logo, and the inner box is red-brown wood with a pale cream/ off white leatherette interior and watch holder.

However, I received a Solid green heavy cardboard outer (with gold Audemars Piguet embossed on the top). The inner box is green wood with black interior.

The seller is willing to swap boxes. (Fortunately - NO issues with this seller!)
But, before I make a mistake and go through the kerfuffle to ship a box back and end up with the wrong boxes, I thought I would ask.

I have both boxes. Think they changed from the older green/white cardboard and rose boxes to the green boxes around late H series. I like the look of the newer box but I really wouldn't matter to me unless you wanted everything as close to original as possible. I can tell you with the APs I've sold the type of box didn't hurt resale.

This is unfortunately the only reason I really care about this aspect.
Most resellers decreased the offers on my Rubberclad as I was open about the fact that while AP ROO OEM, it was not original with the watch.

And no, I'm not talking about flipping watches rapidly.
At this point in my 30+ years of playing with watches, I usually only buy after long consideration.
I've learned the hard way that a once loved "grail" for me, might certainly be hard to sell 10 years later, and the more complete a watch package, the better.
