Well the leathers I know the GP comes in are:
1 fjord (very thick and grainy, my favourite type)
2 Negonda (which is grainy too, but much less firm and softer than fjord)
3 Vache country (which is a mix between negonda and fjord I think - I have a GP in this leather)
There are probably a few more as well. I imagine the mustard GP leather might be similar to vache country? They are both new leathers I believe and look quite similar. I would've LOVED to get that mustard GP - if only I lived in the US. I hope a TPFer scored it!

The colour was superb!
