Hello!
I also have one bow that’s in a darker brown. It’s not just a darker shade of
the same brown but a completely different colour. (Lighting conditions in my
home aren’t too good to show that properly.)

Shifty Bricks have copied the quiver and its one of the harder pieces to
spot the difference with mold wise.

Also the dark brown bow says LEGO.
I have this piece since my childhood. But I don’t think it’s the normal early
version though, for I got my first sets with bows and quivers in 1984, and
that’s the earliest year for these parts. I should have at least one dark brown
quiver matching the dark brown bow if the dark brown colour had been volitional.
I think they once mixed (most likely accidentally) some black grains of raw-ABS
(or PP) with brown when they made the pieces so that the outcome was dark brown.

I don’t think
there is a Lego brown darker than the usual,
|
Old trees from the 70ies have a different brown trunk, it’s almost grey. But
even that is not the same colour as the dark brown bow.
Bye
