One would assume that, but, as has been pointed out: A lot of drunkards in the
printing business back then, so who knows? It’s all merely advertising art, so
it’s hard to imagine that they would've discarded an entire print run because
of a one-letter misprint in the printer’s signature. With a certain level of
alcohol, a single t may well appear as tt…
It is an interesting query no doubt, but I wouldn’t put too much weight on
small differences like these. I find it quite likely that the posters were
simply printed by different printers, or maybe at different plants of the same
company. I mean, come on: Since the printer apparently had offices in Sydney
and Melbourne, I find it likely that they also printed their orders in both
cities. Anything else would’ve been silly.
