Also, what about the KOP totes before 2011? What models were those?

The grey totes are slightly shorter (~1/8") shorter than previous KOP totes. The handles on the narrow sides of the grey tote are right at the lid, whereas on the 2011-2013 KOP totes the handles are dropped about an inch from the lid.
The rest of the differences are noticed by placing the two totes next to each other upside down and looking at the voids around the various plastic features around the top end of the bin:
The grey tote does not have voids under the plastic next to the handles. The older totes do.
The ribs extending down from the hinges on the grey totes are about a half inch shorter than the ribs on previous totes.
I haven't looked closely at totes received before 2011, but I noticed the handles had different geometry and the trapezoid features next to the handles were larger than the new totes.
Of course, all of this would be easier to visualize with pictures. I didn't take any when examining these totes last night. If no one beats me to it, I can take some tonight and post them.
