It's a 808 1 watt muiltmode with no lens on it.

I'm gonna let the cat out of the bag here as I knew about this for some time.
I looked at with a ir filter on and I see the green coming from the deep inside of the dioide itself. When this laser gets hot it emits a red led line that goes to 570ish some nm < that line peaks at yellow

then when it gets hotter yet a line much more into the green will come out by itself and the diode will dim and the IR component will stretch and you'll see the green come on if you switch it off and on quick. The green only gets brighter the hotter it gets. I was able to get the green focused with a cheap Fresnel lens and the patter resembled my 405 if i take the lens off. It comes up on the wall round as the hose blocks and it encircles the 808 emission. and by hot I mean the host feels like it almost once to burn you so i'd say 130-140f. It's been reproducible every time. No hint of 404 though. The current draw drops from 2 A to 1.75A. This laser is about 4 years old.
