Different Treads
On the Ogre 1 OGRE MK Vb, one of the treads are different than the other three that were in the original package. It is even different than the treads on other two Ogre MK Vb's that I have. Could it be a tread from the first 1979 OGRE MK V?

UPDATE
After a recent comment to this post by Ashley, I looked more closely at the threads of the Grenadier Models OGRE Mk V and it bears a striking resemblance. But this leaves the question as to why the the thread was included in the Metagaming's Microtures Martian Metals packaging.

NEW UPDATE
Mr. Rich Brown, provided a link that shows definitely that the tread does belong to the original 1979 OGRE Mark V.

Steve Jackson Games - Ogre Miniatures 1982
In 1982, Steve Jackson Games experimented with the idea of
casting its own miniatures for both Ogre and Car Wars. The difficulty of
running a casting operation proved not worth the trouble for only two lines,
but 9 different packages were produced.
