Default Name Boxes on T207 Cards

I can't seem to find any conversation/threads on this but I wanted to get the thoughts of T207 collectors on this.

The name boxes at the bottom of most cards are white. However, I have encountered a few that have more of an orange-colored/tan box. In hand, these cards appear to be just as legitimate. I've attached a picture to show the difference.

Have others been aware of this variance and is there anything attributed to it like brown ink running into the box, etc.? I have seen several of these cards out there so I know this isn't a one off or anything. Anyone have any of these or know about them? I know the thought may be that they are merely a little on the dirty side but that is not what it looks like in person.

Interestingly, I also have the T207 reprint set that Dean's produced and those cards have the colored box (though more pronounced) as opposed to the more standard white ones. That has always seemed odd given that the white ones are by far the more common.
