Default Early Semroc 'chutes?

Hello All,

Looking at all of Semroc's own "Retro-Repro" model rocket kits such as the Swift, Triton, Aphelion, Goliath, and Lune got me to wondering: Are Semroc's current plastic parachute color patterns and parachute sizes (12", 16", 20", etc.) the same ones that they had in the late 1960s and early 1970s? Their current parachutes are reminiscent of Centuri's (except that Centuri's 'chutes were octagonal, if memory serves), and I'm curious as to whether their early parachutes were like their current ones.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
