I have 6 that look like catalogue image but 4 that don’t.

 
Part No: x55  Name: Plastic Flag 3 x 6 Ninja Pattern Blue
* 
x55 Plastic Flag 3 x 6 Ninja Pattern Blue
Parts: Plastic

The odd examples do not look like they are worn.

Image one against dark background has the examples in the centre, each end is
the catalogue image version.

The gold quite noticeable on catalogue version but odd examples are transparent.

Note in other images, over light, that the odd ones are transparent in the centre
( image 2 ) and the others ( image 3 ) appear darker around ninja symbol.

Less colour applied or variation ?

One I would have dismissed but 4

Any views ?

Anyone else have these ?

Similar issue with x65

Two have strong silver print but others look like catalogue image.

known variation. I've had them fresh out of the box like this. Bricklink
previously declined to add them to the catalog, so I just out it in the notes
when I sell them.
