Yes, there was a grey-flamed version. Initial version produced for the Canadian Airborne Regiment kit shop in 1975. Had olive torch and wings with grey flame on olive twill. National Defence HQ rejected the design as it had no Maple Leaf in the design, and, when worn on the right sleeve, looked as if it was going backward. All were pulled and it wasn't until the mid-80's when the design was approved and produced with a white flame and moved to wear on the left sleeve (still no Maple Leaf in the design).
