I've been told this is common among white elements especially-- that they're
more susceptible to light damage (or perhaps just that it's more noticeable in
white). I was told (IIRC this was from master builders in Enfield) that even the
tiniest of tiny variations can make a white piece go yellow, such that even
elements in the same batch of bricks can behave differently.
From the sounds of it, though, I'd guess that when it was being constructed, it
was being built from several different batches of white, a few of them being
more vulnerable to light.
