Grado Cartridges distinctions

Does anyone know how to distinguish between the different wood-bodied Grado cartridges based on their looks?

I have, what I was certain to be a Grado Platinum cartridge, but I always wondered why it seemed to have lower output than my Benz Micro Glider H2.

Now I took a closer look at the little sheet of specs that was inside the wooden box that the cartridge came in and it says "The Grado Statement Series..." and specifies 0.5 mV as the output which would explain why I need to use the MC setting on my phono/pre-amp.

How do I know which cartridge I own? The cartridge itself simply has a large G and "Grado" on it.

Yes, I know which cartridge I PAID for.... ;-)
