I've taken the liberty of rotating one of yours, added one of mine.

That picture brings back memories, I worked with a guy that could not stamp a part number in a mold straight to save his sole. lol... Half the time the numbers were upside down or back wards.

I see number (1) and (3) in the design, it could be possible that the mold had multiple cavity's creating the same part. Also these cavity's were all a little different creating parts fitting a little better than others.
