- No shadow for wax seal on white part.
- Different wax seals.
- Different shape to the lines. (Tan part has three smooth lines and one line with a kink; white part has two smooth lines and two lines with kinks.)
- Overall pattern size on white part is narrower.
In addition to the above difference that (to me at least) prove that the patterns really are different, the shadows may or may not be different colors. (It's obviously hard to tell the real color vs. the perceived color after bleed-through on the tan part.)
I would see them as two individual patterns as well, interesting enough that TLG made two such similar prints around the same time. It does not look like a mis-print
