I wouldn't go with low yellow for a couple reasons.
The yellow in the logos and the uniform looks pretty good. One is a bit less. but not way outside the normal differences for late 80's early 90's cards.
On my monitor the detailed pics both look teal, but looking at the bit showing the corner of the border, on one you can see two layers of color. on the other it looks like only one.
Maybe one of the printers tried to save some money and skate past using colors that were almost right without the yellow being under the border to make green?
Or maybe they are printed with a lighter shade of yellow
Or it really is almost missing
Either way, they're cool cards.

To me it looks like the press was running out of ink and was still getting just enough yellow ink to get a light even cover. Just before it runs out completely and the ink gets streaky/spotty. I have a Mantle that is spotty on the very light yellow ink. Kinda cool with spots of no yellow ink and very little yellow ink.
