Strange caseback date stamp on this datejust

Hi everybody,

Has anybody come across a date stamped into a Rolex caseback where the quarter is stamped with arabic as opposed to roman numerals and where the whole year as opposed to just the last two digits of the year is stamped, i.e. 1.1958 instead of I.58? Raises my eyebrows!

See respective picture in this link:
