The green band in the "SMC" coating on the lenses, these have now been mostly superceded.
The red band indicated the newer "HD" coating which is spec for all the new releases.
All of the "DA limited" prime lenses where refreshed last year with the new HD coating, and with curved apeture blades but optically similar to the earlier versions.
You may still find some new "old stock" of the green band SMC version.
I believe some of the lenses such as the 18-135 DC WR, 18-270, 35 and 50 mm + others are still being made with the SMC coating (green ring) for the time being at least.
The Gold band on the other hand is the DA* lenses with SDM (motor focussing) and a higher level of weather sealing.
