Chances are, Tyco somehow acquired old Lego molds.

It has never *been* textured. I looked at ones from 1980, 1990, and 1999.
Except for the single digit inside, they are all the exact same. The digits
inside are 1, 6, and 6, but the sixes are different stiles, while the one and
the six from 1980 and 1990 respectively are the same stile.
