There's appears to be more to the story from what I see in the picture of the top rib.
Take a close look at the top rib matting. The lines are deep & bold on both the sides of the insription panel. Then look at the lines on both ends the panel. It looks to me as if something has been done there. Possibly a worker at the factory tried to cover-up the bluing mistake by having the rib inscription changed after the fact.
