Are Pink Fat Font Inserts Faded Fuchsia Inserts?

These two examples seem to point in that direction.....

The pink one arrived on my 1968 1675 as is but has an unmistakable fuchsia back color.

Very interesting, if true might want to keep the fuchsias out of the sun Pinks worth 1/2 that of fuchsias approximately.

Not so sure. I associate mega fat fonts with super faded colors, but I don't usually see mega fat fonts on fuchsias...

Looks pink on the front to me. Not all inserts faded the same.

What I’m wondering is if the pink one was once fuchsia and faded pink as the back colors of both are the same fuchsia color. But I need a crystal ball 🔮
