Can I speculate here, just a thought.
Most probably wrong, but the bottom of that '2' looks like an inverted '7'.
I have to say, that would be an improbable way of re cutting a date, but that is just what was done with medieval coins. The top of the '2' is just badly out of position.
When the Mint staff were working their butts off during WW2, the need to get work done would have been critical, hence the probable sloppiness of the workmanship.
As they say on Mythbusters: "Plausible".
