Here are some more photos of the stuff.
The giveaway is that gray outer covering ... when you see it, start looking at the outer covering carefully, even try to crinkle it up in your hand. You will typically see 'slices' where it is separating and coming apart, when you crinkle it up, it should still be 'plastic' and not crack or come apart.
If it is 'gray' ... it is the same stuff, regardless of the manufacturer's name on the stuff, if you can still see enough to find a manufacturer's name.
