Different position of leaf? definitely
Different font style? worn die more likely IMHO

Agreed, worn coins or worn dies most likely.

The best way to see true variations in lettering/numbering with accuracy is on uncirculated samples imo.

Agreed.

Most likely attributed to average wear and tear to circulated coins.

There are two font styles for the 1947 ML cent: pointed and blunt. I wouldn't be surprised if there are also minor varieties with different leaf positions. It would be an interesting study for someone to do.
