E, DanielI was trying to work out the missing colors etc. and any other clues.
Clearly the Yellow is completely absent - leaving a cyan'ish background, and also I thought the red missing....but then I noticed on the top rim outline of his cap, there indeed lies a little red outline - as can be seen in the correct image too. These t206's were black and white 'photo style' images upon which color was laid down, correct? So it would seem possible at least, that perhaps the correct (even if just stumbled upon) solvent would remove that initial b&w image more easily than perhaps the other colored inks used, and that the cyan somehow held on more tenaciously, with just a smidge of magenta too...i think perhaps Barry - the belt (and his cap) is simply cyan with a little magenta thrown in to darken it. There is also a toned 'wash' seemingly on the card that may have been residue of a chemical peel...
Just conjecture on my part, but problem solving even an incorrect hypothesis can be fun.
