Look differences between Eneloop batches

[WildChild]

Has anyone with many Eneloop cells bought at different times noticed some differences in the look of them? I got some Eneloop from Singapore last November. They were manufactured in May 2006. I also got some from Canada this year, manufactured in October 2006. I took some pictures to show the differences. Those from Singapore are probably not fakes but I wanted to show the differences.
