Are the Blue Old Mills hand cut/scraps? We know that Brown Old Mills are legit and that they were likely mess-ups, discarded and cut up at printing. Thus, all brown old mills are printer scrap and they are most certainly brown (not sure why the overstrike and multi-strike exists, unless they were just used as extra paper to get ink of or for experiments, but that's irrelevant here).

If blue old mills (or this blue Sovereign) are not hand cut, I think that is somewhat telling and perhaps indicative of fading or maybe a missing color (although I have no knowledge of that Ted v Bryan). But then again, there is the Brown lenox, which was distributed in packs... That said, many people i trust have seen the blue old mills and they say they are blue, and I trust them,. Conundrum. I would like to get that one nailed down before we branch into Blue Sovereigns.
