Sometimes it's just the end two sections that are the different colour. I know one of my Vangos is like that. Have you extended them out to check they are different lengths?

Also the pitching videos sometimes use prototype tents so they can be made early in the season, and then small details change.

Tents usually come machine packed ie very precisely in vacumn assisted folds, which no human will ever hope to replicate. I can't recall if Vango seal the plastic packing bag though. They can feel a bit powdery sometimes...I suspect this is some sort of chalk or talc use to endure the folds don't stick under this pressure. If the tent was obviously folded once and tight into the bag, then don't worry. Human tent folding looks very different, as you'll discover!
