Hello experts, I have attached two images showing 18038 engravings of the model # on the case with different fonts. For example, one of them has a line under the 1. Are both of these legit or is one likely re-engraved or some other explanation? Thank you for your expertise!

The top one looks correct to me but that bottom one is suspect IMO. I dont like the way the 1 and the 0 look

Different font types have been used and the 18038 was produced from ‘77-‘88.
Depending on the year of production both may be ok as long as the SN year and typeface font style match production years.
