The overlay with the runners flesh tone colored in I got for an old operator

The overlay with the runners flesh tone transparent is from Quarter Arcade.

I was wondering if the flesh tone colored runner was a nos overlay.

I seem to recall a thread about this very subject. I believe the verdict was their are differences found even in NOS overlays. Not that this actually answers your original question ;)

For some reason I seem to recall it was Jowseph who had asked this ???
 
looks like a piece of crap. I will take it for $10 shipped, rid you of the hassle. :O)
 
I believe there were 3 different Nos cpos with different color tones for the runners.
I'm not 100% sure
 
It was established that the crappy looking one (pic 4) is NOS, or at least the original version according to people with original overlays on their machine. And that the better looking tan (or flesh) version was an aftermarket repro correction.

This is one of those rare instances where repro looks better than original. I am purist, but if I was choose in this particular situation, I'd go with the repro.

You guys are right- there was a recent thread on this; from what I remember, there was more than one version from the factory. And yes I agree- the crappy one looks like they mixed up the order of printing, even if it is original.
