    How can the red be altered without affecting the rest of the note...? So its definitely just something that's been tampered with?

    Red ink is the least chemically stable ink the BEP used.

    And these sometimes occurred (along with other exciting color changes) by just going thru the laundry where bleach was added.

    I believe the chemical used is acetone,
    definitely NOT a North African yellow seal note
