Isn't it two different aircraft? One blueish, one greenish...or is it just the photo quality?

NAH .... it's photo quality of the first image.
Images # 2 and #3 bear the correct aqua/torquoise type BWIA shade of that era.
I believe these images relate to the delivery scheme for QANTAS B707-138B VH-EBK which was sold to BWIA during the late 1960's .... to be reregistered 9Y-TBD.
The dual 9Y-TBD/VH-EBK registrations are unusual.
I suspect these pictures were taken just prior to delivery .... because an aircraft would not normally operate commercially or even be delivered/handed over with dual registrations.
"IF" .... you do decide to tackle this one Ben (your choice of course) then I'd be inclined to drop the Aussie rego and just go with the one appearing on the tail .... and .... be sure to assign this texture to our B707-138B EARLY version model.
