Question Identifying a solar attenuating windscreen

I know this has been discussed on the new Defender forum...but I'm still lost as to how to check what type of windscreen I have.

I've just traded my TD4 Freelander 2 in for a brand new Disco Sport.
After a long wait it was delivered yesterday - first impressions are great.

I ordered the car with the solar(uv) attenuating windscreen. And now the sun has come out I can't really see any difference between the windscreen or the side windows.
Other forums talk about how Pilkington has changed the design of the solar windscreen and you can't see any difference.

I was wondering if this forum could shed any light on what has been fitted to my car.
The windscreen says
Pilkington
Transp 70% min
43R 001585
then below has two Pilkington icons - one with a thermometer and the other a water drop.

What information Google gives for a 001585 windscreen makes no reference to solar retarding.
So I'm a bit suspicious :-)



Please put my suspicions to rest if you can.
