I have a VT100 with a green tube. It came to me like that, and the screen burn is
consistent with a lot of use. It's a fairly slow persistence tube, and the bottom edge
is burned with a one inch vertical line in the middle, from that bright flash that a VT100
makes at poweroff. It's mostly hidden under the bezel.
It could very well have been original, but it could also have been replaced at some time.

The VT102 User
Guide on
vt100.net shows that you could get a green
antiglare filter:

It is also reasonable to think that DEC did a run of
VT100oids with green tubes.
