2 Different styles of late Escutheon nuts

[painter777]

Pulled the nuts from some beat up stocks I rob wood from for repairs and patches. Both were pretty rusty and just happened to be too close to a pile of butt plates I was fine sand blasting. That's why they show no finish in the pics. Notice both are the later type II long spline Escutcheons........ 1 has twisted splines while all the other Type II's in my spare part boxes have the straight splines.
The one with 'Twisted Splines' came from a M2 stock. M and Flaming Bomb marked in the sling well.

Anyone ever noticed this before?

Nothing earth shattering, just something I happen to notice.....
