N64 white vs grey cardboard boxes, reproduction or real?

I started trying to really improve my collection, take note of condition issues, and prepare to get started upgrading things. i've noticed that some of my N64 boxes have white cardboard, while others have a light grey cardboard. See the picture below to see what I mean. What I'm worried is whether or not one of these are fake? Does white cardboard always = reproduction, or was white ever used in the factory for maybe third party/second party games and late print runs?
The Harvest Moon 64 pictured below isn't as perfect as I would expect for a reproduction, there are some moderate issues like creases and some crushing. From what I've seen before, most reproduction things seem to be "too good to be true". Maybe someone else could check their Harvest Moon 64 box and see if it matches mine?

edit: someone replied to this on nintendoage and said their copy of harvest moon is white too, so that's a relief. anyone know a reliable way to tell if a box is fake or not? i thought i had heard somewhere that white cardboard = reproduction, but it sounds like that's not always the case.

They are legit.
If you look through all your boxes you will find quite a few of them are different materials.
