The weird part is that circular spot behind the "55p" on 237.  At least when I initially took a peak at it.  Now I'm thinking it was just too much work to dot-fade/gradient the other plates surrounding that text (and you see the pure black circle).  With a computer, you'd just lay a white font OVER everything else, but with offset printing you can't have anything there.

Looks like some other thing happening with Lothar's ear (could just be a crease in that image).

Mysteries of Printing would've made a good Alan title.

Here's a previous ASoS mock up I did, which shows fairly clearly how one plate was reused:
