I would advise a bit of caution here. Just as we have seen people quick to dismiss something they have never seen before as a fake, we do not want to assume every undocumented plastic or shade variation is automatically sunfade.
Evidence (like seeing both sides of the plastics, etc) should still be considered before a determination should be made.

How about these from our favorite seller!

Matchbox Superfast No20a Lamborghini Marzal - RARE FACTORY ERROR PAINTWORK
Very rare genuine factory error with *MUSTARD YELLOW COLOUR* (usually pink-orange)!
Only one coat of the paint was applied, therefore giving this unusual shade of yellow.. NOT PINK-ORANGE!

Matchbox Superfast No4d 57 Chevy Bel Air - RARE LIGHT PINK (TWO-TONE Windows)
Comes with SMOKED front/ side windows with AMBER rear window.. possible error?
This chev is currently listed by same seller.

If anyone has doubts about the above models we are calling 'Sun Faded', look at the rear screen on the Chevrolet, it has internal fracture lines, a common sight within the glazing components exposed to a bright Sunny envoirement.
