I am pretty sure these are two different colors. Pictures are taken of both stamps at the same time.

They look like different intensity of the same color to me. But it is hard to judge color off a computer screen.

the papers look very different (white vs. yellow) this could cause color differences.

Only red and blue listed in the Scott Specialized foe CE2. The paper of the right copy appears toned.

So here are 3 more stamps. I moved the stamps around just to show the color difference

It appears to me that of the top two stamps shown, the right-side one is slightly toned, and color less bright, but basically the same colors for both red/blue. Considering that these are more than 80 years old and used, there's a lot that can happen from exposure and conditions to the stamps!

Notice that the top and bottom stamps in the stack of 3 have a bluish tinge to the paper. That's from printing the blue color. This is fairly common and throws off the appearance of the carmine color.
