You may not get the color to match without sanding to bare wood, although some stains may get close to the right color you will need to treat the floor so the color will be intense enough. With the extra time that was spent putting in borders, I would spend the time to cut the flooring to complete the design with the right material if it was my house. The borders hi-lite the shape of the room so helping the design either by coloring in the border or going back to the correct installation should be done, instead of having the border go missing at one wall.
