Has Colt / Okay Industries ever made mag with white / greyish followers?

I stumbled across magazines for sale on surplus store. Mags are advertised as Brand new colt MFG AR-15/ M-16 30 round magazines. Seller says these are pre -94 made.

I´m aware original mags were made with black followers and later to be updated with green ones but I have never heard about white / greyish followers.

ETA: to be more specific on color.

Are these 20 or 30 round mags?
The early 20 round mags had aluminum alloy followers that were gray in color.
Later 20 rounders had black followers.
Pics or better descriptions would help.

These are 30 round magazines. Seller said follower is plastic, not aluminum.

Unfortunately I don´t have any pics.

The new Mako E-Lander magazines are 30 round steel mags with white followers.
They are made in Israel...could they be these mags?

Nope, these are aluminum mags per seller.

Knight's sold a white Magpul type follower for a while, but that was just in the past few years. Someone could have updated his old mags with shiny new stuff. But I've never seen any pre-ban that didn't have either the black or green USGI follower as standard (Yes, I didn't include the emerald green first followers)  So the whole thing sounds hinky.

That´s I´m afraid too.

Thanks for the input.

Could someone have installed  magpul followers ? I bought a box of used mags and got a few of those and some painted as well, someone did a nice digital paint job on one.

Most likely someone changed followers.

All my Colt/Okay mags have yellow followers.
