I'm confused about these ljns!(PICS)

[wrestlingfigure]

Okay brief explanation:
I found many LJNs to have slight variances mostly to do with leg positioning , some to do with CRAPPY paint jobs and some to do with differences in color.
These figures I have amassed come from Canada and US (as far as I know).I have attached some pictures.Bruno stands out and so does Terry Funk as having different stances.These each have different markings on the back.I have noticed figures markered A, B, or C , W2 and some (hart foundation Bret Hart )marked 08 and some left blank.
What do these markings mean?**I assume they are plant markings where the figure came from if multiple plants were involved in production.**
Are the figures with different stances just warped figure?And if so why do they have different markings on the backside?
These Jesse different hair color is obvious but the light pink and hot pink tight color, is that just sun exposure?
Is there A LJN super MARK out there who can list all the known variants ?STOM maybe?
Onto the pics:
NOTE:The SD jones blows my mind as it is a horrible paint job on the one figure and it is dull.While the other is shiny and crisp lines for the stars and tree's.





















Any Insight?

If I had known that was an example of the condition of figures you were looking for, we could have done some business. (LOL)

As for the markings, i think you are correct about the letters and such differentiating the various manufacturing locations. I think some of yours are paint faded, but I wil show below some that I have come across. There are actually 4 Ventura types as there is a blonde mustache/hair and a purple panted version. I have a jake with slick pants and dull and Hogan with different shades of yellow. I do not have the variant in the mail yet, but Greg Valentine had two different colors of hair. I have a Hogan with a different shade of boots also. Iron Sheik color differences, etc. I think over time the variants have been listed in the forums. See below:

The Jones that has a horrible paint job looks like it was handpainted to me..

You have to see and feel that figure close up, I sure it was not a repaint (aftermarket).Werent all the LJNS hand painted to a certain extent?

I'm not saying a repaint, I'm not expert here but maybe a proto?

PS just noticed hairy George Steele, I've seen ones like that before that looks like it might be a proto too.

And everything else is variants pretty much.

If it was a prototype, it would probably be slightly larger and made of resin.
