Hey Frank,
I just confirmed via email with both Greg Davis (SMHS) and Ray Grant (ASU Mining and Minerals Museum) that the Stone Maps that are at the SMHS Museum are indeed the originals that are on permanent loan.
One thing that may make them seem different from different pics is the lighting in different pictures. I do agree that the stones in jack San Felice's Pictures look like they are fresh from having a mold taken from them. The Horse/Priest Stone has ABSOLUTELY no red in it whatsoever. My guess is that those pics were taken when the Flagg Foundation had a set made for display, and rubber molds were made from them.
