Default Leaf Colors are Different

This is my first year growing tomatillos. We bought two plants without any identification other than the sign saying, "Tomatillo". I researched about needing to plant more than one plant, and I planted the two plants 3 feet apart in our large traditional type garden. They are growing very well and producing enough to make all the salsa verde we want.

The strange thing is that one plant has dark green leaves and the plant beside it has light green leaves. Both plants have tons of yellow flowers, but the darker leaf plant produces way more tomatillos. I am curious as to why?
