I scored another pair of Iron Man 2 Initium All-In AI-006, but these are brand new!!
Finding a brand spanking new pair of AI-006 was too rare to pass up, they were still sealed (nosepads and temple tips still 100% clear) with original case, cloth, paperwork and outer presentation box with model info. sticker.
Rare brand new, as they've got to be getting on for being over 12 years old now...
I've compared the new pair with my other pair of AI-006 (which have the age related yellowing on the nosepads and temple tips)...
The 5 main noticeable differences on my new pair (pictured top) versus my first pair (pictured below) are:
1: The hinges aren't sprung, which really does point to an earlier frame before that modification was added...
2: The Initium arm "bulge" detail has an "I" for Initium, as opposed to the "+" or "t" logo on my first pair...
3: The Initium font logo is different on the left arm...
(I searched around a bit and found 2 old/very early advertisements when the "I" logo was used in the branding)...
4: The bridge top Initium font logo is different...
5: The nose pads are rounder and smaller...
The brand new pair I'm assuming are even earlier versions than my first pair, the initial main giveaways being the nose pads and early case and box.
Now I thought I recognized those small nosepads...
...So pulled out an old Initium frame for inspection.
These round nosepads are the same as used on the old Initium Nighttown, so it follows that these All-In's must be a very early released frame...
However, the Nighttown notably, does have sprung hinges and the newer "+" Initium logo on the arm, further adding to my theory that my new AI-006 might be even earlier than the Nighttown...
I'm sure Sake said a while back that he also had another early AI-006 variant too (I think with sprung hinges) with the "All-In" displayed on the arm in that "old London" or "medieval/gothic" font, the same as the original London Calling...
So now we are up to 3 variants of the original AI-006, which at first glance initially, all seem to be the same pair of original silver All-In's.
So I'm now wondering exactly which AI-006 are in Iron Man 2?
This definitely warrants further investigation, although the problem being, even with 4K and HQ IM2 movie screen grabs, it's unlikely to reveal those small differences in the AI-006 details that are in question.
Well so far, I have a 66.667% chance of having the correct screen used pair!! Lol.

So 3 different versions of bridge, all with variations in the triangle sections.
Both of my AI-006 have "type 2" bridge sections.
My latest found version...
My first pair version...
(Not sure why my phone's camera shows the grey gradient lenses in this color!!).
To me, it looks like the triangle sections "taper outwards" on the movie image when they meet the frame, like type 2, as opposed to straight up and down like type 1.
Type 3 has the larger more fatter triangle sections found on the latest versions of All-In frames...

I think so. However, judging from the lack of engraving on the left temple arm, the thinness of the bridge, and the high-resolution photos, I think it may be Type 1.

I got this shot to try and ID the nosepads, but it's inconclusive...
Not sure if it was the exact same pair that was repeatedly used in the Senate scene, race track scene and ending scene, but I would have thought, as a standard back up measure, the wardrobe dept. (or Initium themselves) would have had more than only 1 pair of AI-006 on set.
This could throw even more variation into the mix, the possibility of slightly different AI-006 versions in the 3 separate scenes.
One thing though, I think I can eliminate the AI-006 that I've just bought from appearing in this scene, as this screen grab proves that whatever they are, they aren't a version with unsprung hinges...
My "just bought" earlier versions with standard hinges don't open past 90°, so for the Senate scene at least, they can definitely be ruled out.
I've never put on a pair of All-In (or any sprung hinged expensive sunglasses) like that in my life!! - Talk about manhandling an expensive frame, I can almost hear the spring snapping noise from here!! Lol.
I also do see what you mean, type 3 (the latest version All-Ins) as well as having a different (thicker triangle) top bar, also have a different lens shape in the top corners, it's shorter and less rounded like 1 and 2...
Just to think I was blissfully unaware, happy and content with my very first pair of AI-006, I wish that I'd never looked deeper into it now!! LOL.

I think you need electropolishing. After that, let's do palladium plating,
