RSTS V4 (from 1973) is from the white binder era.  Then came blue, then gray, then "chinese red" if I remember the order correctly.  Maybe the last two are swapped.  So gray would suggest a fairly late version, perhaps V8 or so.  Still definitely interesting and potentially worth scanning; bitsavers only has a few versions and the differences can be significant.
