The red is probably a clue - the red may have been printed separately,
so some rubrications could have been missed. This suggests that the
facsimile might not have been printed from colour photographs, but
rather from black and white ones. (I have one book, a black-and-white
facsimile, which prints the rubrics in grey, as two-colour printing was
then too expensive.)

The Phillimore editions were true facsimiles of the type-facsimile
edition :-)
