Looks like offsets 50 and 54 are from the ethernet layer, not ip

tcpdump  -r  gre-sample2.pcap  'proto gre and (ether[50:4]=0xac1c0203 or
ether[54:4]=0xac1c0203)'

works, as does

tcpdump  -r  gre-sample2.pcap  "proto gre and (ip[36:4]=0xac1c0203 or
ip[40:4]=0xac1c0203)"

I started working this out, but then just brute forced it:

for x in `seq 1 80`;do echo offset: $x $(tcpdump  -r  gre-sample2.pcap
 "(ip[$x:4]=0xac1c0203)" 2> /dev/null|wc -l) pkts  ;done|grep -v '0 pkts'
outputs
offset: 36 16 pkts
offset: 40 18 pkts
offset: 68 2 pkts

in theory newer  bpf supports 'protochain gre and host 172.28.2.3' but
while that generates a huge bpf program it doesn't actually work.
