Difference within the Pentax XL eyepieces?

Hi guys,

I have two Pentax XLs, one is the 21mm and the other is a 14mm. I noticed that both are different in some ways. The 21mm has a purplish coating, but the 14mm has a greenish coating. Also, the 21mm body can be rotated freely, much very like turning in a well-fitted screw at the initial stages. The 14mm body body has a tighter feel when turning.

Is this normal?

Thanks
Vin
