Both light and dark logos have the difference.
There's a third sort that shows as a very dark red, but it's very hard to spot.
Also there's a few with a cardboard stock that is mildly reactive to UV. Both of those are far less common.
And to top it all off I've found 4-5 out of about 10,000 that the glosscoat reacts by turning greenish.
Steve, any chance we can get you to take a pic of what the cards look like under the black light, maybe with a couple of the blacklight variations sitting next to each other? That would be cool to see. If catalogs ever recognize this as a true variation it could be called the "Steve Blacklight" variation...lol
