I believe you are reading more into that site and the dates/pictures than intended or true.
DWM "d"s are the same from 1910 to 1918 and later, maybe struck harder or lighter or with a new or worn die, but not really changed. Font stamps would have been present in multiple examples all hand carved, and replaced as needed.

One cannot date the frame from the suffix letter alone- so give it up!
