They darken a bit as they harden, and it takes a couple months (IIRC) to hit 3I. You'll notice a size difference, believe me.

Moved to emp zone.

I thought this meant that both pictures were of a 2I, just showing how dark they get. scratch

Size difference between 2I and 3I.

Lid diameter is 7 centimeters.
