Simple Gravel King tubeless question

Are the GK tubeless marked differently from the non-tubeless version? From web photos it appears that the white sidewall panel on the tubeless are marked 'TLC'. Anyone confirm please?

The tlc are the tubeless specific tire, but I have set up the non tlc tires tubeless with zero issues so far.

With my experience with other tires, the tubeless specific ones have a little tougher sidewall to prevent roll over/crinkle and a different bead for the tubeless ready rims. That being said, gravel isn't road or cross so no high pressures and no need for rollover so I think you would be okay to setup a non tubeless one.

If it were me, I'd get the tubeless ready one if there is such a thing.

18 months ago i purchased GK SK 35mm for my wife's gravel bike. At that time I don't recall any discussion of tubeless or tubed distinction. They've been set up tubeless with no issues at all. In fact they do set up pretty easily. I like the tires and planning to purchase a couple pairs.
