Keith,
Yes that's the way I understood the description. The entire vin range affected by the missing element was subject to repair. For repair purposes the vin gang was supposed to be arranged by hand taped, positioned by hand and then struck. Two man operation.
Hi seniority guys got the repair jobs... and those characters are small to begin with so an arrangement error like OP's question does not seem to be inconsistent with the guys that did this who said that they would take turns covering for each other so they could take "long lunches" at the corner BAR.
