NZ army Dogtags

Hi, does anyone have any reference pics or info regarding the ISSUED NZ army dogtag sets?

I have seen both dulled steel and black-painted steel variants in our army and was wondering which is the official type, wiki doesnt seem to help and any of my territorial friends dont have them or if in RF, got black ones in the forms of

Country (NZ)
Number
Initials. Last Name
Religious Preference
Blood Type

Help anyone?

All are issue, just depends on where they get done.
As far as im aware there are 6 types.

Black, stamped
Sliver, stamped
Black, pressed
Silver, pressed
Black, engraved
Silver, engraved

Have been issued all types, with and without silencers.

The last lot i was issued were the black pressed type(2012)

There may be more variants, and im sure Bolty and Onward proabably still have the old circle and octagon ones

Sorry what shape are they US type or round or like the aussie ones

I had to make the whole unit's tag once when I was in Paps. Nothing wrong with the copper tags wards off arthritis!!!

All the ones I've seen in NZ were US type, just so many variations which as 2/1kiwi has pointed out are all issue types at one stage
