The Purple sky card was then adjusted to reduce the bruising and remove the cut above his eye.
The regular version of the card with a proper, blue sky has the cut removed and the bruising beneath reduced further.
The version with the full cut is, I think at this point, pretty difficult.

So there's at least 4 versions of this card, actually. There's another purple sky version that has even more of the cutting and bruising on his face. It really doesn't appear to be stray ink when looked at under magnification.
I don't think this is a print variation so much as a true variation.
