Opinions On Lens Tint

[CarGuy]

I came across a set of Penny lenses and am not sure what they really are. I have a pretty good idea but wanted to ask of the community what your thoughts are.
I set one of the lenses on a shelf (ignore the other chattels if you can) with a Mars Ruby and a Penny Ruby. Those lenses appear to have a fairly uniform hue - purple with some red - and the other is just so much more purple than other two.
What is this?

Could be a good batch of first gen ruby. Are they oem?

 

[CarGuy]

They were presented to the seller originally as "OEM"- but calling a lens "OEM" also is used to construe chopped lenses as originals.

My only thought would be positive red ,but they dont seem to show the colour transition from blue to red/purple,they dont look like Oakley ruby of any gen to me though.

I would be inclined towards non-Oakley

What is the base lens color?

What is the base lens color?

The lens base color appears to be blue, which would indicate Ruby Iridium. Positive Red Iridium would have a grey base lens.

Thanks. So what generation Ruby then?

They look like early ruby to me. I've seen this hue many times in decent lighting with my 2 Juliets.
