This head has at least 2 distinct colour variations/prints for its stubble (possibly
more).
1 has significantly closer stubble and 1 has significantly farther apart stubble
than the other I'm not sure but it might apply to the blocked head version
also. it might be difficult to see the variation in the photo but it's more
visible in person.
If possible it might be good to add a note.
(the variation is visible across multiple heads and isn't fading)

actually, I just found a 3rd major variation
top - dark and closer stubble
middle - lighter and farther away stubble
bottom - extremely light stubble
(the bottom one isn't fading)

I think print variation like this is very common, especially the older it is.
Slightly blurred, offset, or lighter print isn't usually notable. I wouldn't
consider these to be distinct, I'm sure it's more of a gradient of various
print qualities in between your variants. But that's just my opinion

I think it's just the same minifigure head in three different stages of shaving

Ditto… but I think having examples in the catalogue wouldn’t hurt.

So, no note needed but a supplementary image.

Well, maybe people wouldn’t look at the image if there’s no note, so….

don't worry this is the last one, for now, I'm finally finished listing
all the hollow stud heads I had in my to-list pile.
