Vern -

I think I see what you are pointing out in reference to the chamber date. On page 109 of Gibson's book there is a photograph of a 1942 chamber date. In the photograph you posted, I think that in addition to the "4" looking strange as you have pointed out, the number "2" is also very suspicious looking when compared to the photograph in Gibson's book. And maybe it is just the way the lighting affects the picture; however, it appears the base of the "9" extends too far below the base-line of the date. In Gibson's book it appears that the base-line of the 1942 date is perfectly straight.

Thank you for sharing.
