I think in some cases it might actually be just red over black — see the first attached picture, where the maroon looks like just red where it overlaps the peach. In the second photo, you can see a sliver of red on the bottom right edge, which implies that the two black checkers were overprinted with a full red shield. But I've yet to see a misalignment that actually reveals the black layer itself. I thought maybe Dark Red existed at that time for Modulex or Ink. But, anyway, the problem (2) is that “Maroon” is not a BL colour and people seeing this part would perhaps more often search for Dark Red or even Brown. “Peach” is also not an official colour but it’s used more often (mainly “Peach Lips,” which sounds better than “Nougat Lips” ).    After looking at set pictures on google/brickshelf, I think all the peach printing on those shields (and all the torsos that feature that shield design) are likely the same Nougat, it just varies a bit based on the part color showing through. Question (1) arised because Studio is wrongly using the 3D model for px3 as px21 (LDraw doesn’t have px21, only px2 and px3) and the member/user who reported the problem was confused by the difference of colour in the pics and thought px2 was wrong too. Obviously, as you say, as Woutr noted, and the descriptions imply (“Style 1/2”), they are variations of the same part… but we never know, maybe someone has both parts and can take pics in the same conditions    (I REALLY wish I could find more info on old ink colors!) I’m disappointed by your lack of knowledge!
