First time I'm seeing...
that level of scrutiny of swaged bullets! Now, air pellets, some shooters get down right persnickety. Crosman used to do 1 die lots in 1250 or so pellet count, if I recall correctly. The theory being that when all pellets were from one die they'd be more consistent. BUT their usual production is from multiple dies all going into one batch from which they then fill the tins. Which helps explain why their pellets often aren't the most accurate, among other factors of course. Your findings definitely make me curious as to what kind of equipment the factory was using to produce those.
