Question: Original Blades for a Gillette Contract Tech Set?

[CyberJCM]

I recently got one of these sharp looking sets after a good year plus of keeping my eye out! I'm very excited! I know they arent particularly valuable or rare or anything, but I really dig the all black and the WWII vintage!

The little cardboard insert says "Use with Gillette Blades", and I've seen these before with a couple different blade packs in them. Mine in fact came with Star Blades, not Gillette's

I'd like to put an accurate pack of blades in the set. So which type/pack of blades were originally in the set? Does anyone have a reasonably sure idea?

Thanks!

Some pictures have the "thin Gillette blades" Red and black wrapping.

Thats what I've seen as well. But, I've seen pics with Blue Blades as well, and of course non Gillettes like the Star's mine has.

My black Contract Tech set comes with Thin Blades, my gold Contract Tech set comes with Blue Blades:
