RE: JTC #537053 and the January 2021 release #537003;

For the Green EMP containers in these number series, on - dates range from early 2011 up into 2020 in service;
the 6402xx & 6403xx series these are based on are still in use in 2020:

Photos date back to early 2011 for both series; 

It's possible they were delivered in 2010.
