If you are replacing older 6TL batteries with new 6TMF
(or 6TLFP) batteries, it is desirable not to mix 6TL
with 6TMF/6TLFP in the vehicle/equipment. The older
6TL cases are all green, including the top.

The newer styles 6TLFP and 6TMF have black tops and a
green case or brown case. The reason is that the
chemistries are different. Bottom line: Its most
desirable to have "black tops with black tops" and
"green tops with green tops."

If you need to know Army approved NSNs for other types
of batteries, like those needed for communications and
electronics, the Army CECOM-LRC website gives common
use batteries, both commercial and MILSPEC styles, in
their "Preferred Power Sources" listing.
