The second picture needs to be better.

A good indication is the GT tread 'font'. If the GT slopes forward (like this GT) then they're the newer ones. If the GT slopes the other way, they're the older ones :daumenhoch:

There are the original old school ones - notice how the 'GT' logo in the tread slopes backwards and not forwards  :daumenhoch:
