They look the same with a casual glance, but the more common one
has the Two Metal Rotating latches at the bottom and Two Strap/Buckles
at the Top.
The less common one has Two Metal Rotating latches replacing the Strap/Buckles. So it has Four Latches in Total.

I have very limited Data to go by, but it looks like the Less Common version
was supplied with the 9sx around 1972.

Of course Cases and Meters can and will have been swapped around a bit,
but if you happen to have any of the Rarer Types, could you possibly take
a Note of the Date of the Meter?
Might help to confirm when these were supplied.



Regarding the DA211, is there any way of dating it?


Quite a few of these cases are indeed the ones with twist locks instead of buckles, which I really like.

I'll make a list of them as I acquired them. I intend on swapping out cases as these cases with four twist locks are the ones I'll be keeping.

Not sure of the date of my Da211, it doesn't appear to be apparent.
