Deep six Fuchs question

Trying to determine numbers on deep six Fuchs.
Following are specifics:
1/70 with heart 42
10/70 no heart 42
11/70 no heart 43
12/70 no heart 44
While offsets all measure the same the 42,43,44 is confusing to me ……as I thought those referenced offset.
Anyone have knowledge as to the variations.
TIA

I have no idea what those #s mean, are the part # all the same or different?

Part numbers are the same ……the 2 digit numbers are done like the mfg dates.
Thanks for weighing in.

That last number on other wheels would sometimes indicate special changes (on other wheels, I don't know if that's the case here -just giving you leads.) For example tubeless with the bead vs tube, and center cap style or even the type of valve stem.

I know on later flat fuchs in 15X6 that last number denotes a change in the center cap when they changed from a 3 prong to a circular ring center cap fit. So that center hole is slightly bigger with the different part number.

Weidman might have the answer, or somewhere buried on this forum. Search deep 6 threads or for sales ads using google, not the in house search button.

Edit: Anecdotal, but one time I was picking up some 15X7 cookies at my local shop. He had a pile I could choose from. Same part number but the casting was different. One had a defined lip, and one smooth. I think I read somewhere those numbers can be variations in the cast. I've seen some very subtle changes in the same part number. Also a 16X6 fuchs had slight changes here in there in the casting. Maybe that's why people get particular about date matched wheels.

Good point……thanks for input.
