This is interesting. The printed slopes (3x2 33º) in the McDonald's sets are
slightly modified from the standard form.
The most noticeable difference is that the sloped & printed surface is smooth,
instead of matte.
Looking inside the bricks, I noticed some variation between different sets.
In 2032 (Set #1, Ronald McDonald), the part number has been removed from one
mold by filing or chiseling -- there's only a raised rectangle left on the brick
where the part number should be. On this brick, the ©LEGO has also been filed
out.
In 2069 (Set #2), the printed slope has part #30474. The ©LEGO is also present
on the inside of this brick.
Both bricks have the LEGO logo on the studs.
The unprinted 3x2 33º slope bricks in the sets are totally normal -- part number
3298 and all.
