Why are there multiple versions of the color plate "Excavation of Olive Mount"?

What you call a "master copy" in this case refers only to the shapes and lines on the plate used to do the engraving. Different inks were probably used for the different releases through the years, though as you've noticed there were different plates used to do this particular illustration (that explains the differences in the sky and background). It was fairly common to make variations of a theme in works like this.
