Does anyone else think that the markings in Rocky's second picture look.... wrong?

The letters look to be oddly spaced...

The S in US looks like it's taller than the U.

I've never seen a descender on the top bar of the 7.

And it looks like the F and 1 (of 1917) are smashed so tightly together that there's no space between them.

This is what the marking normally looks like:

Could this be a Khyber Pass copy?
