Automat Model K4A Serial number discrepancy

My Rolleiflex Automat 6x6 - Model K4A - s/n 1,207,277, differs slightly from the specs on that model page. The shutter on mine is labeled Synchro-Compur (rather than Compur-Rapid). The lens is labeled "Zeiss-Opton s/n 722,307 Tessar." Is the omission of "Oberkochen" on my lens actually different from other lenses? Some lists (Camerapedia) also show the K4A serial numbers stop at 1,168,000.

If I would get a dime (or at least a nickel) for every Rollei (or Leica) "serial number discrepancy" (to some list), I'd have my own private Lear Jet on 7x24 standby (including Bratwurst with Kraut, hot an cold drinks, pilots, Brazilian hookers and air sickness bags with my monogram).
