Interesting card.
Missing colors are unusual. I have a couple but they aren't common even with the late 80's sets.
The cropping of the picture is fascinating. once in a while there's a card with the tape showing where the negative was taped to the mask.
But with this it looks like the picture slipped in relation to the frame during the artwork stage and the plates were used.
It's possible they discovered that early on and made new plates. The "bad" sheets would have been used during press setup and a sheet or two got mixed in with the production sheets.
