  The mint did use both types but I don't know when the different types were used.

  I have seen three types so far, the top loading one came in 2 colors and the side open one.

  It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  No I'm NOT going to do research on the different proof set boxes and envelopes!

  It would be a massive undertaking since there are some oddballs as well. Most
  of the packaging had huge runs so even scarcer types can be found. But apparently
  the number of sets and amount of packaging didn't always work out even so they
  had some very small runs. There can even be some variation in the coins themselves
  but this is usually pretty subtle.
