It appears the stamping die for the #3 was recut from a #8. If it were filed out on the gun I assume there would be a slight divot.

It looks like the first three numbers were in a stamping die holder (they are perfectly aligned) and the last three were free struck. That would be a likely system to use to save time. Put the thousands series you are working on in a holder and free stamp the low numbers that change every gun.
