The most noticeable difference is that the sloped & printed surface is smooth,

I thought this was true of all printed sloped bricks?  I had actually assumed
that the printing process would be fould somehow by the rough surface.

Nope.  I've never seen smooth slopes before, printed or otherwise.  I've got
several examples of printed slopes right next to my computer, and they all have
rough slope surfaces.  These parts include 2x2, 3x2, 2x4, and a 4x4
triple-sloped wedge (from the Droid Starfighter set).

Is it possible the (C)LEGO has been removed because the printing is a
McDonald's character?

That's what I was thinking.  Especially since it wasn't just any McD's
character--it was the clown himself.

(...) The 3x4x1 low slopes with town wheel wells on the underside are smooth. Some of them are printed, some aren't. Whether this qualifies as a traditional "slope" is questionable, but I tend to think that it does. Steve (25 years ago, 31-Oct-99, to lugnet.promo)
