The red ink was the last printed in the 6 color process.
That Bates card never got the final inking (red) pass. And, this is not unusual for brown HINDU cards.
Any given day on Ebay, check out the HINDU listing, and you will see quite a number of normally
red background cards (with brown HINDU backs) that are more or less Orange (due to lack of red ink).
