The material that the old plates are made of turns that brownish color (on the surface) with age.
Usually you can get it to buff back to black, or at least darken up some, with some wax or a polishing compound.
Repairing broken toes or chips with acraglass is good way to go as well.
The variation in the spurrs from buttplate to buttplate are just the nature of the beast.
