I still have more questions than answers

I have hundreds of Ux8's in many different shades. Think of a rainbow all in shades of brown and I have it covered. My question is are any of mine the dark chocolate brown UX8c variety? I searched the web for a bit and found a lot of bad examples such as the dreamers on Ebay that think theirs must be the less common variety. If some of these shown on Ebay are the less common variety, then most of mine are too. I know that is not true. If anyone has a good reference copy of the UX8c I would love to see it.

There are 2 examples on the Siegel Auction website - https://siegelauctions.com/lot_lkp.php

If you enter UX8 in the catalogue # field you'll be able to compare the UX8 and UX8c side by side.

re: UX8 vs.UX8c

Unfortunately the Siegel website has notorious poor color rendering with their images. Over the years there has been inconsistency in how they scanned, processed, and saved their images.
For example, here is the listing page on their site shown next to the downloaded image for the same UX8c! Anyone care to guess at which image more accurately reflects the actual card? (I think the smaller listing images are closer to the actual card color but I am dubious of Siegel images.)

Well I checked out the Siegel site and you guys are right, It's as clear as mud. Very inconsistent.
