Default Windshield tint question

I guess its time to replace my windshield due to pitting. I dealer gave me a choice of green tint at the top or regular tint. Mine does have this top tinting although it was replaced. What was standard from the factory?

ps windshield is approx. $1500 installed including seal and mirror mounting kit!

As soon as it was 15 years old I put it on a Silver Wheels policy.

Do you know where the glass came from? I see that the Porsche glass is around $1k alone in the US and a bit more up here.
