Okie Drifter Identification Question

[scooby]

It is my understanding that the old style okie drifter was hollow and made out of plastic and the newer version was made out of some other material (styrofoam?) and solid.

My question is how do you tell the difference when side by side or when looking at just one. There must be some sort of feature each style has that one can use to tell them apart.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a FEW of the old plastic ones and I can tell by feel but you might try with a pin that should tell you

Take the oakie and tap it on something hard. The old style (plastic) will make noise and the new style (styrofoam) will not.
Or you can just take your finger nail and push on the oakie. You can make an indentation in the styrofoam ones relatively easy. Plastic no indentation.
