Default T206 Different Back

I was looking through some T206's recently and noticed some oddities on my McGraw Glove at Hip. I only have one of these so I didn't know if it was normal for this particular card. Yet compared to all my other t206's it doesn't have a match.
I don't have more than 30 t206 cards and only 4 with a 350-460 back, so my sampling isn't large enough to know if this is normal. Yet when I look at online pictures of the same card I don't see this either.

I have all the scans at 1200DPI if anyone needs to see them closer up. I did my comparison scans to McGraw portrait with hat. This card also has a 350-460 back.

As you can see from the front scans the bottom name line is in a lighter ink color. I thought it could be a fade, yet it doesn't seem to affect other parts of the card.

The 350-460 back seems to have bolder font on the "350-460" part.



Below is an overlap of the 350-460 text. The lighter "ghosted" part is the glove at hip card. I thought all the backs were printed off the same plates so that when the lines lined up the text should have lined up as well. When I saw that this one was so far off I did overlay comparisons of some 350 backs and they lined up just fine.
