I`ve no Federal LR primers on hand, but the Fed 105 pistol primers are yellow and Fed 205M`s are purple that I do have. What you are seeing is the foil seal Federal is useing, it isn`t a change in the compound. I don`t think it makes any difference in the primer at all except to reinforce that there are variations in different run lots of the same components.
