I think I'm missing something simple, but I can't find the blue version of this Polish stamp.

I do not collect Poland or have any particular knowledge of their stamps, but it is highly likely to be a color changeling.
Consider that yellow + blue = green, and that the red end of the ROYGBIV spectrum we learned about in grade school tends to light-fade first.
Thus it is fairly common to find green stamps which have "become blue" over time or been helped chemically.

Hello KevinMcC

This does not have to be a colour change. It is more likely to be issues for the Polish voting areas in Silesia. You will probably find these issues in a special Polish catalogue or in a special German catalogue, as this is an area that was transferred from the German Reich to Poland by voting.

Best regards from Switzerland
