GMT II 16710 dial fonts

Dear TRF GMT Master MASTERS,

I just acquired a second 16710 (left, below). I noted that the dial font differs from the one I already had (right, below).

Right = K serial, 2002 (thicker font, brilliant white)
Left = P serial, 2001 (finer/thinner font, off-white)

Is this normal? Should there be a font difference between these two or is one of them an aftermarket dial?

I also notice that the bezel insert fonts are different, is that normal/abnormal?

I used the incredible the GMT Master II thread and in particular this post about dial fonts as reference but still cannot tell.

Appreciate your help.
