The obvious answer is that it was manufactured by a different contractor. If you look back though the thread, you'll find that are several different serial number formats, indicating that Shogun didn't have any allegiance toone particular manufacturer and probaly allocated contracts primarily on price. On the other hand, are you sure that one or two of those "5"s aren't "S"s?
