I have an old Mantua stock car in poor shape lettered for Missouri Pacific (NOT&M), but the positions of the road name and reporting marks are switched. The lettering appears to be adhesive labels, so it could have been done by a modeler during the assembly of a kit, which IMHO, wouldn't amount to anything, but a factory error is something else. Does anyone happen to have any insight into this?

I'll try to get a better picture later.

It seems to be on the proper side to me. Compare it to all the box cars in the same photo and it is the same. Even 3 of the 4 remaining cars have the recording number and some sort of road name on the left. Only the PRR hopper has the number in the middle.
