I have two 1966 Venezuelan Mantle's and both have numbers in a red-orange color, the same brighter red-orange color the back of a Venezuelan card is printed in. Is there any chance you could post a picture of the entire back of the card?
I have never heard of any sort of variation on this card. Other than the checklist variations, which are the same as the US checklist variations, and the only reason for that is both variations were printed on the same sheet here in the US, there are no other known variations in the entire 1966 Venezuelan set. I suspect it is a printing anomaly as opposed to a true variation. I have been dealing with Venezuelan cards for years, trying to collect detailed information about them, with most of the info coming from Venezuelan locals. Never once before has there been a peep about any variation with the 1966 Mantle, and I have talked about possible variations with every single one of my contacts.
