Two completly different decals. The script is similar but different (as well as the ink color being different). Probably, made by two different suppliers.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Very interesting comparison joerimoko. I have never seen reference to the color difference you have shown, and the blue one does look odd to me. If they were both Mint, some might scream aftermarket decal on the one, but clearly they are both factory installed Lesney decals. Thanks for showing them both here.......Cheers, kwakers

Having had a look on Ebay, both colours appear to be readily available with neither being particularly rare (assuming, that is, that the colour balance of at least some of the photographs is correct). This therefore appears to be an overlooked variation (and one that displays very well against the catalogued version). Well done!
