I'm not totally sure, it has stopped now, we use yellow tags.

Cooper used to use clear tags here when it first switched from C-H to Cooper lighting

I think I've only seen green tags on the Powerlite fixtures.

I've seen clear, yellow, and gold tags used here for HPS in addition to green, yellow's the most common now.

I've seen a green tag on a Westinghouse OV-15 too.

Here's a shot of Sylvania-Powerlite shoebox light, it uses a B2255 drop refractor instead of the flat glass and sag lenses that modern shoeboxes use. I have a scene pic of it too but it didn't turn out so good so here's a Streetview of it instead.
