I think that the point was to see if the style of writing was the same as other genuine copies to determine if this particular copy was also genuine or a perhaps a bootleg copy.

"For those who got a copy  could you please check if this is the same hand writing as on your 12 ?"
Er, of course it's going to be the same, because it's not handwriting - it's a catalogue number etched in the run-out groove. It's very, very far from unusual to find cat #s, track times or amusing in-jokes near the label on vinyl records, but it's done at the cutting plant on a master, not by hand on every single copy pressed.
