Any reasoning behind this?

Also were these logos stamped by Rolex at the factory or stamped by a distributor?

In some ways I wouldn't be surprised if many of these now being sold as authentic were aftermarket creations by Italian watch dealers.
Asprey Jewelers had the Khanjar cliche and stamped the dials themselves. Rolex endorsed it though, and supplied dials without chronometer text for that purpose. It seems that if they had to stamp a regular dial they'd just do it on the left.

And yes you're right to be cautious when buying these, absolutely.
