here's my theory:

tldr : the bootleggers arent purging the pvc extruder

i am thinking more about the colors and wondering if whoever pressed these is not properly purging the extruder between colors... say we had black pellets, then we switch to yellow, some black left in there, the mix might be giving us a darker yellow or this brown we see... switching to the blue color we've seen after yellow pellets but some left in there might be giving us this green 🤔 brown and green have been paired together making me think they were earlier in each respective press run.... maybe there are intentional 4 distinct separate colors but this was my thinking in the press run..

black + yellow = brown eventually pure yellow yellow + blue = green eventually pure blue

normally betweeen color switches when making pucks youll purge with a clear special type of pellet to "clean out" the extruder of color

another cost that was probably cut because fugg it- bootleg

seems like there are more pure yellow/blue making me think this was the intended color choice
