2016 NOS Ripley with 2012 Cover
Weird eh? I guess they don't sell too many green photocells... This one was made August 2, 2016 but apparently they made the cover back in 2012. Model number 6246TF-GN-2.0/. It's just a standard 120V electronic photocell with a green cover and 2.0 foot-candle turn-on rating. Notice the nice true-green color instead of a dark forest green DTL and Sun-Tech use. Thanks Ryan!

I thought green would be 347v. Is it?

Green is indeed the standard color for 347V but most PC manufacturers will let you substitute the standard cover color for green, black, or brown on any PC. For instance, a utility might use brown PCs to denote that they're electronic instead of mechanical (my local utility did this in the 90s) and may use black to signify an energy-saving PC with a lower turn-on foot-candle rating. Green is becoming common for LED-compatible photocells too, but this is not an LED photocell. From what I've seen, standard photocells work just fine with LEDs. The biggest thing with the LED PCs is they've got more suped up surge protectors and supposedly longer-life components. The ones that I've looked at appear identical to the standard grade ones though aside from the beefy MOVs.
