I think a lot of Tech prints of the time had a green shift? Or at least a lot of the Star Wars IB prints?
Though to be fair, there is similar "green shift" in AntcuFaalb's VHS bootleg (not taken from a British IB Tech, but from a regular USA Eastman Kodak print), and on the official 70mm collectible film cells (which were from a new 70mm positive - 1995 LPP stock, according to the edge codes - and came from an "original internegative", which apparently had near-fully intact color as recently as 20 years ago!)
Also, back in 2012 someone posted this in the DeEd thread:
"I have owned and/or had access to multiple Star Wars (the original) 35mm prints and screened numerous others as well (been in the theater exhibition biz for a long time). I remember seeing SW in the theater probably a dozen times during its 77-82 runs. The one fairly unifying factor in all of those prints (including mine) was the muted colors and almost greenish hue. There were a much smaller percentage that had excellent color that was more robust (but never popping mind you). But by and large, especially at the smaller theaters, the prints always looked more muted."
So maybe the green "shift" was on most/all of the original theatrical print run? (Verta? Can you weigh in on this?)
The photos from the Senator screening seem to suggest that print did not have a green shift, like many of the others:
