Flecktarn tends to fade quite a bit, just like Cadpat and a lot of other camos out there. However, if you get a new set thats unwashed, and wash it properly the first few times the color can set good, and not end up all dull down the road. This is probably what you have seen. Some uniforms that have been taken care of and have vibrent colors (or new uniforms) and the duller used versions, which is just due to sun and washing without taking the propper care.

If your actualy talking about different colors in whole (ie flectarns redish brown, vs denmarks green/black) then you would have to post a pic of what you saw, and I could probably tell you which country was or is using the varient of color.

Lastly, there are different dye lots of fabric, meaning fabric that was dyed say in, 1990 is not going to be the exact same as fabric dyed in 1995. Colors change slightly, and the dye is different which they might change to be more fade resistant or such, which changes the color slightly. So that may be the case as well.

Flectarn has been around for a very long time, so it has undergone a lot of "modifications" over the years, most are very minimal, but are still noticeable when you look.
