Platypus Tabs are pretty irrelevant I’m afraid, all white Japanese made papers 02 have been tabbed for some years, you can still sometimes find untabbed, boxed 01 papers (same construction as Cafec Abaca & T90/Medium roast papers, which are not my favourite.
There are 2 different Japanese Hario 02 white tabbed papers (both designated VCF-02-40/100W), plus the Dutch tabbed (VCF-02-100WH). The semi circular white tabbed papers are the only ones I’m interested in.
Looks like Ozone/Hasbean’s product images are out of date (many vendor’s images are), as going forward, the only 02 white papers Hario will supply are the medium crepe outer, smooth inner - which haven’t been giving me good results.
I get the feeling that, in the past, Hario haven’t stuck rigidly to any one kind of paper for a specific packaging/size & probably don’t know what has gone out in the past.
Never tried the natural papers, I have plenty of Kalita 155 papers so I’m keen to see if I can switch to those with the LilyDrip Lotos.
