Sarin in binary shells seems significant because apparently the sarin does not degrade since the binary components of it do not mix until it's used. Mixed sarin degrades.
As I understand it he shell used in the IED did not produce much sarin because the binary components did not mix properly.

It is very likely the 155mm sarin shells are binary since the one used in the IED a few years ago was. I thought the binary ones were post-1991 production. I know we found a bunch of empty binary warheads that were produced after 1991.

Agreed, and Sarin binary-type Chemical weapons last for a very long period of time.
