The white back Williams variation appears to have a yellow or a green strip variation with the yellow strip appearing more times on ebay by a ratio of about 3:1. Here's an example of the green strip:

The gray back Williams variation appears to have a thinner sliver of color which I've only been able to find in a blue/gray color like this one:
