Subject: 360 brownish main frame - due to sun or epoxy?

I went to examine a 360 project fo sale. Originally purchased 1990 and inventoried, but no work done - for 7 years. Then purchased by current owner in 1997 and actively worked on for 2 years (good work). Then just stored for 4-5 years. Now for sale, due to medical and other busy-life reasons.
 
The main frame has quite a brownish color. Less brown are the closed wings (more normal "yellowish", but still slightly brownish). The tail parts, gear doors, flaps, ailerons etc have the "modern" normal color (yellowish, almost greenish).
 
Owner say brownish color depends on the different epoxy type used back in 1990, and that kit has been stored indoor all times, etc. I need top know whether epoxy type is the only reason. Or if the chance, with this color description, is high that there has been sun exposure during some week/month period in all of all those years.
 
Comments most appreciated. I have pictures. These were recently studied by a nearby L320 owner (similar purchase date) nearby and who said that the brownish at least might be due to sun exposure.
 
Thanks,
Magnus
