I've only seen red labels before, the engine has lost its chrome effect also so my guess would be sunfade. The yellow looks a little lighter than normal but that may be the lighting.

I agree it's sun fade. Red is a very unstable ink color.

i hadn,t noticed the engine,the bits sticking out are chromeless but underneath is still chromed ,so could be a victim of been left on a windowsill for years lol :D
