The printing blankets on our presses were green.
White is generally not used except if you want a consistent background or to brighten the colors.
50's Topps I think are layered, with a layer of white stock glued to the very rough cardstock. This was done for years. I'm not sure if it was done before or after printing, since I have some 60's "proofs" on nice paper stock.
Of course, Topps being Topps the 68-70 cards often come with an actual white layer on the back.
The M Eddies cap looks very different as well.
