The Renwal kits were circa 1957-58. When they went under, Revell ended up with the molds. The M-47 General Patton was reissued in 1982 by Revell. Revell of Germany reissued the kit in a Matchbox package in the mid-late 90s.
I can't access your link, but the "blue print" boxing would be the original from the 50s and the white box would be a later Renwal issue. I'm unsure how many times Renwal reissued it.
