Here is a great comparison of two posters for It Came From Beneath
the Sea - both recognized as original release posters - and both are
printed with different colors

another situation with the same coloration differential is First Men
in the Moon

and of course, we all know that Star Wars was printed 4 times for the
extended original release, although we can easily differentiate the
printings because we have the information due to the fact that Star
Wars is well researched and recent enough for us to have been able to
access the data.
Concerning the Invaders From Mars one sheets, I do not know if
Heritage is right or wrong, however according to the IMDB, there is
no 1955 re-issue, so it's possible that Heritage is correct and Grey
may have been able to get access to data in research that led to his
determination. I don't know either way, but I doi know that
Harryhausen posters shown above show clear printing variations that
can only be explained by reprinting of the posters for extended
releases of those very successful films.
