I don’t know enough about these older ones to weigh in initially but I also thought the text looked fishy when I first looked at it. Glad someone else with more experience noticed. The I’s in “Officially” are super faded and the Y seems a bit too far away from the crosshair line. Really a lot of the lettering looks too small or a bit off. The theory that it was cleaned up and removed some of the print makes sense to me.

Also, the intermediate index ink ticks are usually lines, not dots, as seems to be on the OP dial.
