<p class="MsoNormal">It’s probably related to the OCR conversion process. It’s something that I’m used to seeing occur often. On a related or unrelated note, here is an older post from a digitization expert (<a href="https://page2pixel.org/2013/08/when-copiers-arent-copying-as-they-should/">https://page2pixel.org/2013/08/when-copiers-arent-copying-as-they-should/</a>)
that mentions copy/scan stations interpreting numbers incorrectly and changing them in derivatives. The blogger is a former colleague who is respected in the digitization field.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've run into it a few times – although never with anything I've scanned – and the best explanation I can think of is that it has something to do with text recognition software. For text only documents it's not a major issue, but unfortunately
I've seen it turn some diagrams into an unreadable mess.<o:p></o:p></p>
