The distributor numbers are not stamped into the housing, the distributor housing is rolled against a fixture that held the characters, sometimes double imprints or ghosting does occur.

Compare the last 3 numbers of the Facebook “distributor number “ to the one initially posted and you will notice why the 1st one is phony. I don’t like to post the actual font issues as it’s something that I’ve got notification from people before not to do to clue in the stampers.
