Bullet - hanged man --help?!?!?!

[DJ Sheep]

I have two copies of Bullet - Hanged Man here, I'm pretty sure they are both OGs, but there is a minor difference in the runout groove. I'm pretty sure these last few numbers changed with different pressings. But can a couple of people with certified OGs do checks please? Thanks in advance.

Copy 1
Side A: 2870437 1 *//*420 05 113
Side B: 2870437 2*//1*420 03 131

Copy 2 (same as copy 1, but last 3 digits)
Side A: 112
Side B: 122

peace.

Mine's:

a) 2870437 1v//1v420 05 1 1 3

b) 2870437 2v//2v420 03 1 3 1

thanks blighty...

...can someone (sermad?) explain the difference in my other copy then? It doesn't look like a boot.... 2nd press?

Aren't these the registration numbers from the individual stampers used to press the record?
Say there are six stampers used at the same time (so that six copies can be pressed at once), each stamper has a unique code number for the purposes of quality control...if copies are found to be defective in some way, that particular stamper can be checked or replaced.

Sounds like a good enough explanation to me. I assumed it was something like this... thanks mate.

Just checked the run-out groove on my copy which is definitely OG and it reads like this -

Side 1 -

2870437 1v//1v420 05 123

Side 2 -

2870437 2v//1v420 03 115

The plot thickens...

mine's definitely an OG as well - so here goes...

side 1 - 2870437 1v//1v420 05 1 1 6
side 2 - 2870437 2v//1v420 03 1 2 2
