I think what he was getting at is that Martin toned down the contrast between the two colors of the rosette tiles a lot over the production run of 71 guitars.

I think you're correct.

Well, most dark woods get lighter with exposure to UV rays. So I don't know for certain whether it's a different wood species in the second rosette, but it appears to be. In the first one the rays appear to be made of rosewood, and in the second they look more like walnut.
