Scrutinize these pad stamps

[J Hansen]

Does anyone have an opinion on the pads for this car? Lynch Road built '70 Super Bee. Scheduled 4/20/70 build. Block cast 11/14/69, assembled 12/12. Why are there no date stamps on the gearbox pad? The font size seems a bit large, and I've never seen "1" character look like that before, also, the "657" seems notably closer together on the block than the transmission, but I'm no Mopar pad expert. 3rd pic is one I took of a fall built L.R. '70 Super Bee, and there are obvious differences. What say you? Thanks!

Font size on the 0A22 is not factory. looks restamped. The 0A21 looks better but might be a little to neat for factory stampings. on the 0A21 can you remove the paint to check for mill marks?

I believe you meant OA12 ?

Unfortunately, 0A12 is not close-by to me.

The OA22 pad's top shoulder does not look as crisp as the one on the OA12 pad. It might just be the picture, but I would check out that area closely to make sure it has not been ground down and restamped.
