James,
Forgive me if you already know this. The top rib is made in two pieces, the second being right behind the rib legend where the matting is (possibly) slightly off. The rear piece includes the dolls head extension. Maybe that piece was replaced? Just a guess...perhaps the dolls head was damaged beyond reasonable repair?? Regardless, if that's the case it was probably factory work. I wouldn't let any of that bother me.
