What's the difference between the 216 Heavy Duty fans where the part nubmer is inked on the blade versus embossed on the blade?

Did it change over the years?
Is it a difference in manufacturer?
TIA

My 69 A12 Runner has it stamped into the metal, not painted. It's the original part.

Same story on my 70 GTX, the original one stamped.

Just curious:
Does the 216 stamp look more like 215?

I have only seen 216 stamped (embossed) into the metal, but I have two 215 ink stamped fans.

Wonder if there is any difference between a stamped or inked version. Here's the stamped complete.

Agreed.....I have one of each in my shop right now and can not see a noticeable difference outside of the part number ID.

See those four little round holes that are in the arms that the blades attach to !
