On the Shaw, especially in the high res scans you can see both the dark blue layer and the lighter blue layer. On the dark one that lighter blue layer is nearly as dark as the dark blue layer used for the shading. Taking a fesh look at it, I think it may be a matter of the light blue being printed darker in error.
On Camnitz, blue area where buff isn't is the lighter blue.
The faces on both Shaws appear normal, so I think another point against a missing color.
Still more interesting, the is actually a difference in one of the the blue layers down by the glove. On the blue overlaying to make green goes all the way under the glove, and on the lighter one it stops short.

I don't know for sure if that's what it is but after seeing the Camnitz it's what makes the most sense to me. The Buff shift I'm pretty sure is what caused
the bluish color on his uniform it mirrors the amount of the buff shift.

If it was a design change as you originally thought it might be there would be more of them in the 150 series including other subjects like Camnitz not just Shaw.
As for the Color on his face it does look different than the others to me and the area around his ear and cheek look different to me too.

The flesh color is made from more than one color you can see that on the Fielder Jones I posted a couple of weeks ago.
It looks different where the buff is missing on his hand but it still has somewhat of a fleshy look to it.
