Under my nose

I have owned these two for quite some time but didn't realize their significance until I was reading the TPS and came across a fact of Parkerism. Their serial numbers are 21 apart. Can anybody spot why?

What are the serial numbers may I ask

They are listed in the Parker Found section of the Parker Pages, but the serials are 25977 and 25998.

Was George right? I don't get it.

Good candidates for Parkers found

And they both have lifter style hammers on them.

They are already in Parker's Found but thought sharing pictures and a riddle would be fun. By the way, I found them in my gun safe, latest without and earliest with the rib extension. One came from the William Owens Sr. estate. He was background instrumental in the creation of the Repro's. I have his original galley art for A1s's. I've scanned these and sent them to Geoffrey Gournet. He didn't even remember engraving some of them. The second I found at the Vegas show from a private local collector.
