I have never heard that nomenclature used, but I am assuming he is just referring to the fact that one is a gray back and one is a cream back variation. My understanding--and some of the experts on here please correct me if I am wrong--is that the cards sold in Caracas were printed on gray stock and those sold outside of Caracas are printed on cream card stock. Cream backs seemed to be more difficult to find.
