The yellow tiger with no green throat was deliberate. No way they changed that after the presses started. Gray back yellow is likley the first few print runs.

I'm not sure if it occurred with any others, though the "fixed " Frank campos partial border looked like it may have had some work done. How can one tell the fixed copy? I'll let that for a little while

There are other cards that seem to have different gradations of color in their variations. Common examples not posted yet include say the Kretlow (#42) which has a yellow and peach background on the black back variation. Same with Scarborough (#43) on both black and red back ]

Yes I'm familiar, but I think it was likley different inks
