Awful long transition. The ME I will address after I have heard from other people...I only have a theory on it...
Great catch on the 6!!!!!

I am guessing 6 is the original weight of the bat?
Tim gave some excellent examples here with the same label.
Another collector friend of mine once speculated that original bats might have been created earlier, and finished later to fill orders, which might explain the difference. Just a thought. Now you make me want to go look and see if I have this label in my collection. Lol.
