Is this a Sniper tip?

I bought this shaft used and this is the tip it had on it. I think it's a newer style Sniper, with the wear indicator. I just sanded the crown and sliced off any mushroom with a knife, so its colors should be mostly void of chalk residue.

The loose tip is a genuine Sniper. I bought this box of them about 15 years ago.

I'm colorblind, so it's hard for me to be sure the colors match up. Do you guys think it's a Sniper, or something else? Thanks!

Yes. Very likely a Sniper.

Thank you. Oh, I see they changed the base layer too, compared to the original style. Do these new ones still need to be primed before installing?

The base layer is still leather so I prime them.
