An odd variation?

I recently ordered some LOTR minimates to use for customs, I bought two sets with Saruman. One of them has a painted head while the other has the face printed onto the plastic. I never remember this being brought up before so I wanted to see which one was the more common.

Sadly I can't get pictures as the flash would bounce of the bubbles and you wouldn’t be able to tell. But what I mean is the one head appears to be white plastic painted flesh color while the other is colored plastic.

I noticed this quite a bit with the LOTR line. I think it was a running change in production where they switched from fully painted heads to colored plastic on most of the flesh figs in Wave 1. It could be the other way around (plastic first, painted later) too, I don't know.

I know I have a couple loose Legolases (Legoli? :)) that illustrate the difference. I'll try and get a pic up tonight.
