I have done some research to see if this variation exists but so far am unable to find any mention. The photos aren't the best but above the round part of the 6 you can see in one coin there are marks, and in one there are no marks. I don't think it's PMD as both coins are in AU condition and there doesn't appear to be any damage.
Anybody care to chime in?

Just due to die polishing.
Ocurred quite often on the Silver 50 cent coins.
Think of the 1950 Full Design and No Design.
This was due to die polishing.

47P7,

die polishing can change the look of the devices, if you look at the first photo, the 6 is thicker and higher/further away from the fields and has the marks present.

If you look at the second photo, the 6 is thinner/closer to the fields without the marks present.
