I'd noticed that with my two, but a sample size of 2 was just too small to be sure.
Scans can be deceptive on color. The Hopp on the right with the line looks red on my screen. It it actually pinkish?
The Hopp with line is also has a different black printing as well, the black line on the shoulder is missing. (Plus a tiny cropping difference)
I'm thinking the pink ones were a different print run with different plates.
I only have a few, but to me this set is fascinating. Skip numbered with a whole short printed series, plus a bunch of odd variations like these that are quality control isues in the design department. And then there's the missing colors and other problems in the actual production.
