There is no functional difference between the two. I also suspect that the color difference kept the training magazines from walking out of the range...

Sounds logical--keep grit etc from range work, out of duty
mags. OTOH--it's nice to shoot your duty mags occasionally,
to know they still feed.
AFA different colors on the CHP 4006TSW mags--some have
red paint or nail polish (?) on the front bump (that keeps it
from fitting into a S&W 9mm gun). Guessing that was marked
to show the bump was checked for fit, and good to go? Some
show file marks, on the bump...
