A common practice in plastic mold tooling is to use inserts for variable
mold features such as part numbering. The LEGO text on the studs is
probably hard tooled. The part number and copyright marks on the inside may
well be removable (changeable) inserts. This would allow TLG to use the
same basic mold for parts and change part numbers or other markings which
may be dependent on color or printed graphics, etc. by using different
inserts.
