I own these two E2e's and wonder which one is older? Any info about these would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!

The 'A' numbers are serial numbers I believe, and that would make the one on the left in the first picture the older if I read the numbers correctly.

Pretty sure the Round body is older. That is the one on the left in the picture. Those are probably Gun Metal finish.
I have two, you have what looks to be the new logo & clip with holes. I have a new logo with holes on clip & a crosshair with no holes on clip. Crosshair being the older of the two. Just so you can see, there were several variations of them. Hopefully one of the resident vintage E experts can chime in. Just in case I have it wrong. lol
Crosshair example: (This one has a clip with no holes)
Newer logo (on a lego I was playing with one day). It came off a round body too.
Notice the clip & a silver mount stud vs black Allen screw on the older version
BTW: FWIW, I will take those old junky things off your hands for $50 if they are frustrating you too much! LOL!

Cross hair logos are commonly earlier production. Nice seeing them appear from time to time.

I'm not up on E2Es. The originals were incandescent, weren't they? If so, and you want to think about upgrading to LED, Lumens Factory has one LED drop in that will fit in the E2E, the E1-LED. It will run on one rechargeable Li-Ion cell. All of their other E2E LEDs require that you use their replacement head as well. I assume that is because the modules wouldn't fit into the Surefire head. They also have some nice incandescent drop-ins if one is needed.

My older one is running a Tana Single TNT drop in. With Dr. Jones driver. Super awesome set up. The shorter Vital body one is running Lumens Factory HO. Both are super fun set ups.
here's a list I compiled of all the E2 SG styles I found pics of, some were NIP... however, there could have been head swaps, etc....
There was for sure 8 different body variations. Version 1 may not exist, but a 1-cell version does exist...

Yes, I believe the one on the left is older.
