Joel -

Yes, I can see why there might have been a lot of parts books leftover - after the 56th Series production stopped so short of a full year. With the ones from South Bend were shipped with beige covers, I can see why the reprints were done with that color cover stock.

Yet, I am puzzled by the one original V8 parts books I saw that had gray cover stock. IIRC, it predated the April 1, 1957 revision, but uses the same basic cover graphic/layout.

The other "original" V8 parts books that I have seen had been in some sort of hardcover binder, but the graphic was completely different than the softcover editions (and darned if I can find a sample image right now).
