Actually, part (53451) originally came in shiny (harder) plastic when it was
first introduced, but was later changed to matte (softer) plastic. I am not sure
exactly when this occurred, since Bricklink does not differentiate between the
original and revised versions of the part.

Okay. I can see how there could be other such examples of LEGO tweaking materials
from time to time.
Anyway, I think for such little differences, a simple note should suffice (something
like “Early parts came in harder, more shiny plastic.”). There should be no
need for a doubling of all the colours with shiny/matt variants… otherwise we
could also want a new colour for each material (cloth, rubber, paint…). There
is already enough variation in parts in the “same” material and colour to make
them sometimes hard to recognize.
