John, sorry I misread your question. The best answer I can provide might be photos of mine. Your two stampings are indeed closer than mine. Does the close proximity on yours indicate shenanigans or did Fritz at Mauser just like to keep things close? I'll defer to more experienced members on that question. Hopefully they will jump in with their opinions.
