The older design sleeve might also be a bulk pack sleeve. Retail packed lamps have a more colourful sleeve while bulk packed lamps had a simpler sleeve.
That sounds possible...mine is in a nice cardboard sleeve (not cereal-box paperboard like this one) It has the white/black/orange Sylvania design that seems common on more industrial-type lamps...the stuff you might not find in Home depot or Ace Hardware or places like that...
