ROLEX 16760 GMT Bezel Insert Question

Hello,
I wonder if someone can shed some light on these three 'fat lady' bezel inserts:
I notice that on the first, the '8' of '18' is partially on red ground, partially on black ground, whereas on the other two, are all on black ground (and also are of fatter font with serifs).
Which version would be factory-correct?

I have seen this difference also with the Pepsi 1675, 16700, 16710 inserts.
Is one version a fake, or are they of different time periods or versions that coexisted?

Thank you!
