I had no idea to be watching for a variant, but the pic I will upload of regular trans-green is the part that came from my set.

Trans-green is how Maggie originally inventoried the set from MISB contents.
Someone came along in 2008 and changed the door colors to trans-bright green.
Considering that the purple/silver box edition of this set also includes trans-green
doors, I have approved your requests and then changed the trans-green to regular.

As to whether the trans-bright green doors should be in the inventory at all:
I rather strongly doubt it, but will leave them there as alternates.

Thanks for changing Trans-Green back to the regular color.

I will say one thing, that these pieces are a touch lighter than the 1x2 bricks
in the set. But:

1) I believe it is because the plastic is a little thinner.

2) They are MUCH closer to trans-green than they are to trans-bright green.
If you look at them alone, they read as trans-green. But if you look at them
with just the trans-green bricks in the set and there is no trans-bright green
around, it would be fairly easy to be fooled because they look a little different.
