Jim - Sometimes I'm guilty after 3 or 4 posts of seeming to stray from my original thought. Here' what I was trying to say in a nutshell.
ALC made deliberate changes to the backs of some cards during specific print runs. I mentioned the "Apple Green" Sovereigns as an example of a definitive switch in ink color and not just an anomaly. Same with the red Hindu's, that was a change made for a reason.
The answer could lie in the groups of cards that were printed at the same time.
If we know through Ted's research that the Red Hindu's were printed with the Broad Leaf 460's could the brown back of the Broad Leaf have caused ALC to make the switch to Red for the Hindu's to make the backs have greater contrast?
