What makes you think it's "mismatched".
Mismatched?? Perhaps you can clarify - If you refer to the finish on the coin, that is not an uncommon condition, and certainly not of numismatic significance. Cheers, RickO
Ok

Whether I don't see how the planchet construction will allow that. Even if it was two dies.

To have two of the keys needed to proceed, would you consider it needs to be in a controlled situation. You have to get past the planchet, then apply the die, to that planchet face which will allow it. Even if you strike a nice frosted silk on this reflective level obverse, you'll still see the dies matted nuance. So it looks like to planchet faces and two dies.

You need to forget about the two die stuff.
It is easy to see in your photos that both sides don't look the same.
Many things could cause a discoloration on one side of a coin and one die can be very worn and the other new.
It's not an error and you are wasting your time and brain cells trying to invent a way this is anything special.
I've seen more than a few looking like that going through rolls.
