Nuked bottles only get as dark as the amount of manganese in the glass will let them. The time of exposure has little or nothing to do with it. The Atlas's in question most likely started as aqua, so naturally had less manganese in the batch accounting for the lighter color after exposure. The ambers had little or no manganese in the batch, they will gradually turn back to clear over time, or could be expidited with heat.

They look light enough to have been colored by the sun?  Have an ink that is a light shade of nuke.  I have seen plenty of purposely nuked bottles over the years and they get pretty bold in color and obvious.  These do not, unless they were done for a short time.
