Does anyone know the different types of OEL caps? Picked two up at a junkyard but they appear different. What gives? (Both were off of 300SDs)

The information I in this forum does not answer my question. I was asking literally about the different types of oil caps that have "OEL" on them.

I managed to polish these up so you can see the difference. One of them has a good bit of pitting in the metal.

So what is the difference between these two? EPC doesn't do the caps justice and I haven't been able to find decent pictures of the second anywhere.




The first cap I pulled off of a 1984 300SD in the PnP.

The second cap was the one that came with my car when I bought it. It was covered in several layers of gunk so thick that I didn't know it had any markings on it to begin with. (the star and lettering appear to be worn off towards the handle portion, I did not do this while polishing)
