The first three cans are early ones and last one is a later can. Maybe different can manufacturer also. Sometimes, the copyright date does not mean much on some items.

This one was in the classic car dealership on 2nd?? in downtown Spokane. It is like mine, a repop that is marked with a date from the late 80s and I commended them on it! They were making no attempt to sell it as a original or to cover up the date.
