yes, the branding change occurred in 2014 when the DreamCabin was introduced into commercial... but the implementation was, as expected, slowly implemented over time

it's very common to have the older, leftover BP paper stock being used with newer print template formats
the older paper stock, at least from 2008 and onward, were/are completely blank aside from any of the red AC roundel and the red stripe on the front (well starting 2013 they did that and before that it was mostly white from 2008-ish)... stuff like the "business class" vs. "Executive first" are printed directly from the printer regardless of the paper stock
but im not saying you're incorrect... your post does pique my interest... is it possible if you could post a scrubbed pic of your BP?
i actually have BP paper samples from way back... 2002 and onward... I have many scanned and can letter go into a BP history here
