Who knows? The best thing to do is test it. Use a variac and a neon
transformer to apply voltage to both sides of the tan stuff and the
normal clear-whitish stuff, and compare breakdown voltages. Repeat with
several samples, and try different thicknesses. Average the results and
you'll know which one is better. Use that one.
