7c Ford Refuse Truck - Baseplate Text Variation?

[Ewan]

I was going through some models this morning with the aid of the site and think I've found some difference in text size and thickness on these two 7c Fords. I can find no reference on the site - are my eyes getting tired or is there a real difference??? Both models are identical in every other respect - Code 6

the dirty base of the one model is not helping me see the difference

i got out some of my models and couldnt find different size lettering

Checked 8, one could be like yours. It does seem different. No luck with the camera getting it though. Mine is also playworn. All my good ones have the thin text.

I cleaned up the bases.
It was a trick of the dirt, they are now the same
