I'm still lost about how the coolant could have ended up in the airbox via puking from the overflow... unless your coolant vent hose was stuck into the airbox or something.

...and after reading this, still think it's most likely from the combustion chambers, being pumped/splashed back upstream. It's condition/color is irrelevant, if the gasket is blown that badly it's been steam-cleaned for quite some time.
