Steve, the SP Remingtons were made back in the 60's and 70's and perhaps a bit later. Here's how a 12 ga box was labeled.
Sorry, I don't have a fired hull to look at its base wad. I'm not certain but I'm fairly sure the SP 16's were made in the standard Remington green color, not purple. Also, I’m thinking the hulls had a separate base wad and were not compression formed. Again all this is conjecture.
