The Kaline card is what I'm looking for. That card is interesting because it's supposed to be green but is blue. Unlike Mantle, the Kaline has a yellow background around the inset image of him above the box. The Mantle has blue. Does that mean all cards with green bottoms are entirely blue underneath because it's part of the printing process and color has been stripped, or does the sunlight turn the green into blue?

I'm sorry, is your argument now that in 1963, Topps uniquely used inks and stocks that respond to light completely differently from every other year invalidating these other examples? I'm not following why 1963 is unique and these examples are invalid.
Green is created primarily from yellow and blue ink. So the answer is both, removing the yellow via sunlight reveals the blue, turning it from green to blue, although that blue usually gets toned by the light a bit too as affected areas fade a bit overall.
I'm not a fan of teaching people to doctor cards but how to do this is available online and has been posted here before. With a quick search and a light you can just go make 1963s of any green subject into a blue in a day or two.
