Does every woodgrain panel has a unique pattern?

A few days ago I got myself a second 2600 Woody "Light Sixer". I noticed that the woodgrain lines/patterns are different on my two machines (see photo attached).

Searching for pictures of other woody 2600 consoles, I didn't found a single one that matched the woodgrain patterns of one of my machines.

 

Does every 2600 woody really has a unique woodgrain panel? Seems unlikely, right? But then why can't I find two machines with identical patterns?

hm never paid attention but looking back though my for sale threads yes all the one's I took pictures of have different patterns, including the 4 switch models though there is one pattern of those that pops up quite a bit, its still slightly different

 

must have been a large pattern on a roller or something that the units went though in different places (I imagine it was a large transfer sheet that was cut and applied to the machines at some point, maybe like a hydro dip, or maybe placed in the mold before hand)

Well I don't know about back then, but I have seen how they do camouflage today and it's a big vat of base color with strips of the other colors that are floated out and the materials dipped in them to apply it. Result is no two are identical, so maybe it's a similar process they used back then.

Wow. Never thought of that. I have 2 systems a light sixer and a Jr, so I cant compare. My sister has a light sixer. I may have to have her take a pic of the "wood" and compare it with mine.
