Tropical frogs were made in a number of colors of webbing: Reed green, olive drab, tan, indigo blue, and yellow ocher. Colors may vary due to exposure and age. Often frogs were assembled with multicolored components (frog body, pouch, or cross-strap). I think the frog you have is what collectors may refer to as a "yellow sandy". These have a bright yellowish body with tan body and cross-strap. It is hard to tell from the photo, but the pouch on your example looks almost gray to me. They may have a green contract number stamped on the obverse. Many are found in unissued condition. Overall, I don't see any "alarm bells" which would indicate your frog is a reproduction.
