See Branyan. French. Sanson p249 in which it states that

“most of the known examples of this pattern have had the floral filled in with coloured enamels heightened with gold. and have an added yellow border.While this recolouring process is normally thought of as ‘clobbering’. it is quite conceivable that the colouration in this case was a contemporary and deliberate factory decoration”
