Years ago I made the same observation RLevy just did regarding these two 1963 WS pennants. I own the "1 96 3" variation, and I am confident it's genuine. (It passed the smell test.) That said, for a 50+ year old pennant, I am always amazed at how this pennant is seemingly always being sold in mint or near mint condition.

Then I noticed the second variation's existence. It too is always in remarkable condition.

Naturally, I wondered if one or both were reproductions; but, found nothing that proved this for either variant.

Then I saw Duluth Eskimo's 2014 posting wherein he commented on a "warehouse find" in Los Angeles and then implied that a certain 1963 World Series pennant may have come out of a similar discovery.

Can anyone speak to either pennant's authenticity? Or, as to why such a minor variation might have been made for an event-specific pennant that seemingly wouldn't be sold anytime other than during/at the World Series?

I cannot answer your question with any certainty, but can report that the pennant shown here was purchased from a vendor outside of Comiskey Park in 1965 when the Yankees were in town. I would have to say it is original.

Bears in great shape. AFL All Star has tip issues but still looks nice otherwise.

WOW to the Bears Pennant. Not just great condition, but very early!

Based on the style and the Uni, it’s gotta be 1930s.
