Heuer Carrera shield query...

Hi guys, I thought I'd throw this out-I had a quick look through the archives but couldn't immediately find anything on this.

It is well-documented that the Heuer Camaro has the quirk of an off-centre 'Heuer' (U to the left) within the shield-

Yesterday I spotted a Carrera 3647T with a similar quirk but off-centre to the right. Here are some (very nice) examples-

1 is it my eyes/a trick of the crystal or is it actually off-centre and if so, is this common knowledge already?

2 Is it just attributed to some/all 3647T models in a certain batch perhaps, or other Carreras also? (I admit I haven't looked in any great detail, other than to see it on the 3647T alone.)

Maybe a new or forgotten piece of Heuer trivia.

Thanks in advance,
Steve
