1999-2000 Jungle Booster Box Opened

Do these 1999-2000 jungle cards have the same card stock as the Australian Red Logo jungle cards? I know the Jungle cards from the Red Logo packs have a semi-glossy back of the card. Not as glossy as the Japanese peel-promos of Vending Machine cards, nor as glossy as the recent Unbroken Bonds glossy Common errors, but certainly more glossy than regular cards. Here is a picture of both a regular (US printed) and Australian Red Logo Jungle Pikachu:

With the one on the left that’s more glossy, we can distinguish the individual LEDs of my flashlight, whereas this is a general vague light spot on the reflection of a regular card.

Is the printing different of these 1999-2000 Jungle cards similar, or is more like the glossy vs matte vs matte with semi-glossy border printing differences of the Base Set cards like these below?

Greetz,
