I have a couple of sets from ~15 years. They've been in storage for the past
10 years. Now, I noticed that some LBG parts have changed to Old Light Gray.

Has anyone else seen such metamorphosis ?

I’ve had parts that only come in LBG that I would swear were Light grey, they
can fade / discolour to a similar shade.

This happened with a 21016 Sungnyemun set (still for sale in my store). My understanding
is that some parts were manufactured in different countries during this time.
Some of the plates are completely discolored (not partial as you would expect
from sun damage). Also, some interior parts which would not have had any exposure
to the sun are discolored. It is also limited to specific parts like 1x3 plates.

Nothing you can really do except note the differences in the listing.
