Love the Power Droid!
Here are my loose pair and a reseal.
The loose figures are (from left to right):
a Kader I, L1b, R1b. This is moulded in darker blue plastic, is slightly narrower, has rounded silver ankles, and a deep 'V' on its side.
a Kader II, L1b, R1b. This is moulded in lighter blue plastic, is slightly wider, has slightly flatter less rounded silver ankles, and a shallow 'V' on its side.

I didn't have one as a child, and only have a loose one now but I love it. The cardbacks with the deep pinks are really striking. Mark.

Dang I missed the vote & you know what my vote would be without asking, I just love the little blue box, I may be to late to add a vote, but I'll add some interesting ones here for you to speculate about, I've posted the odd colour one before, but never really got anything concrete about it.
So I have this oddity of a power droid, nobody seems to know anything about (the middle one) it's got a regular coo & is the standard V & shown here next to both a regular standard colour V (left) & the short v (right), it's not degraded & is clearly made in a very different colour plastic compared to the other 2.
Close up of the coo, I can't remember what the number was on the inside of the body off hand.
Then I have this factory error one with no black line which is quite rare to see, I've only ever seen 1 other.

Wonderful stuff! I really hope you do find out some information about the differently coloured one. It's a very interesting variant, and clearly a very uncommon one too! This is pure speculation on my part, however if the COO is the same as a standard V figure, I wonder whether it was caused by something as simple as a batch of plastic not having quite as much dye in it as it should, a bit like the weapons on some figures sometimes having poorly mixed dye resulting in two tone blasters and colour variations?
Thanks for sharing

At this point after the times I have posted it up I doubt I'll ever get a solid answer, maybe just like you say a lack of the pigment in a batch, it is very noticeably different from the standard ones
