Yes. Consider the first cube. (Fig. 1).
There are 16 cubes on top of another 16 cubes. That makes it a total of 32.
The top and base are painted red (given).
All other sides are painted green (given).
Only the eight cubes in the centre have one colour only. (4 cubes from the top and 4 cubes from bottom). Any other cube would have both red and green colour on at least two sides.
Similarly, the other cube. Only colours are switched this time.
