    more than one supplier using the stylized AR logo ? I believe this is the trademark of Anton Rettenmier.
    is it more likely that the stamping dies wore to a point requiring replacement ...and there were minute variations in the next version ?

    Yes, subtle differences which leads me to believe these must be due to replacement of the master dies as they wear out over production.

    Wasn't thinking about the "AR" logo you are right probably a new die was used on the front but strange that there are differences.

    Not laser cut from a cnc machine like today. All Dies would have settle differences Like variants in early coin dies. If anyone here collects coins you will know the myriad of subtle varieties in all coin production prior to cnc. Not sure anyone could possibly assemble a date order even with cars with original badges. I am sure they had multiple dies from the start?
