What version of Pro Staff 85 is this?

I have the opportunity to buy a pro staff 85 but I'm not exactly sure which version it is. Could someone help please? It says Pro Staff®️ 6.0 and has black buttcap with red wilson and the code GDR. Does this mean it's one of the TW releases?

Seems like a late China production (like the one RF played) with changed buttcap
I have one like that, at least mine has the classic red "W" on white background buttcap - or maybe mine is the one with the changed buttcap...

According to a chart I've seen on TT the late model chinese are supposed to be black buttcaps. I'm just unsure because of how good of condition it's in.

this is my late Chinese 6.0 85:

I also have a St Vincent's, here's both side by side:


China's buttcap, GAV code (my st. v is KXQ)

That's all I have
So it looks like it is likey a late Chinese. Does that mean it could be a TW issue? I had heard they were made in china. I'm hopeful it's a version used by Federer as it's for my collection and this is the very start. But if not it's still a ps85 so I'm happy.

I'd rather it be one of the older versions, and the fact that it's I'm such good condition has me suspect it isn't.
