Tombac (88% copper, 12% zinc)
Re colour is this normal or is 1 more brass in material?
Note--die cracks are nearly the same

You're correct, more zinc/tin/manganese will change bronze to brass.

Could just be the way the coins have toned in different environments.

That's what I'm thinking - coins were in different environments. Or one was cleaned at one time and retoned differently
