Most of the older AGM-65s are B models they were white. When the D models came out they were a pale OD green. The seeker head on the B's is clear, they are a optical guided weapon. The D and G missiles are IR and Laser guided weapons and will have a yellow -golden coloured seeker. Live weapons will have a Brown stripe around the body in the area between the wings and the guidence fins The forward missile body just ahead of where the wings start will have a black stripe or a yellow stripe around it
Training missiles will not have the rear fins and will have a Blue stripe. There training weapons of all the models the older B and the newer D and G. The Training rounds do not have warheads or motors installed They only have the Guideance unit and a recorder
