Flat head black patina

Gentlemen,
I’ve seen various examples of vintage flat head jackets (primarily the del raiser) where the color of the jacket has changed into an auburn/dark brown shade. Is this common for all black flat head jackets? Obviously, they’re tea core; however, I am used to my tea core jackets from rainbow country, Freewheelers, and the real mccoys only turning brown in high stress areas. With flat heads, it appears that the entire jacket turns brown. Have you found this to be the case with newer models? Thanks
