Is there any significance to that? Judging by the positions, I would guess that yellow inscriptions belong to dead yokozuna. This. In East Asia, because it usually takes time to inscribe a stone plate for use in cemeteries, worship halls, etcetc, your plate is usually inscribed when you're alive, and/or a slot is reserved for you in columbaria etcetc. To avoid the implication of a curse, either red ink is used to fill in the inscription, like with the yokozuna stone, or a piece of red paper is just pasted over the entire thing to be torn off only when the inscribed person dies, as red is supposed to bring good luck and ward off any unfortunate implications.
