Is it just the photographs, or do the distressed areas look olive/green?

Oh please you call THAT distressing?
That looks like about 2 years of wear MAYBE! Go ahead and sink in to that thing!
Good progress though

after a bit more, I think I'll leave it or now...
here's a good tip, use a brush after applying leather dressing.....soften the leather and tones down the look
