At the "green" period, I do recall anecdotally that there were still some
blue ones showing up in that period. May have been built later but batched
into a blue paint run.

All 12 Steve. If you use the SunRace cassette or the lower end SRAM NX
cassette. The Shimano 12sp is a new hub to cassette interface. So is SRAM’s GX,
