The NO. was put on the receiver before the serial number. After completion the serial number was applied, and this being done at two different times accounts for some of the misalignment.
This photo shows that the UNITED STATES PROPERTY and NO. were applied before the receiver was sandblasted and phosphate finished, and the serial number was applied after.

Thanks a lot for your very interesting infos, probably during this period end '43/'44 from 1300000 +/- until 1800000 +/- they did not care for such placement.
It concern only few of these RR, before and after the alignment was correct, maybe the armory crews fault. Who knows!
Its just a detail without importance that I've been remarked after having saw a lot of pictures.
