Hello. I have (2) part 4175 in a solid cream color. They both are uniform in coloring, have the Lego logo, and are more of a lighter weight plastic. They came from a large 4 pound lot of various vintage parts to modern parts. They don't look yellowed to me compared to a white paper plate. Is this a undocumented color in the part by Lego? Also I have a darker variation light gray air tanks which are pretty cool.
