Ther was some discussion along these lines here before. There is no doubt that Burbank ssemed to be able to milk the best performance out of the TK-41s. More consistent color, less misregistration etc. There also has been talk about the "California tan" look preferred on the West coast, but that may have had something to do with makeup as well.
Regarding green hair: the original TK-41 flat-mirror optics were quite sensitive to light polarization, and backlight reflecting off hair or horizontal surfaces went more to the green channel. I don't recall if this was reduced when the flat mirrors were replaced by a prism assembly. Later articles on Plumbicon camera design mention designing the prism block with angles that reduced polarization.
