They had the plates shipped to another printer (green tints?) so they could continue printing series 2 as well as start 3. On the way an unknown incident happened, a few plates were ruined and some people/poses were changed. Again, not sure why. This is the story I read some time back, I may have a screen shot saved or something. Maybe they made up extra plates for a few because the previous accident? I don't know, I'm just throwing out therioies.

That makes sense.
Thanks for the better reply Steve.  Yes in my response I was using modern in reference to the "shiny" modern era and vintage to postwar on to shiny.
