This is getting a little weird, guys. The engine numbers are stamped into the case by a human, and they're done by hand. Any variation in the spacing, the angle, the intensity of the impression, and any other variable is purely due to the age of the stamper, the time of day, what that person had to drink the night before, how much longer it is until lunch, break, or quitting time, and a number of other less well known factors. The painted codes are part of the internal part identification system for the production process. Or messages from alien creatures living among us. Take your pick. Same goes for the mysterious paint stamps on the sheet metal.
