Can someone help identify these Ruger grip panels.. model number and date used?

Just search "Ruger A00801" on the internet and they are for a Mark II

The logo being black or red has some significance to the Ruger company. The Ruger logo was designed by co-founder Alexander Sturm and was originally drawn in red, however, the company started using black and white color palette after the Sturm's death and only came back to the original version on the brand's first pistol 50th anniversary.
