Question about VIN stampings

[Jeff H]

I know the sequence is the same but I'm wondering if they physically used the same gang stamp to hit all the areas that needed the partial VIN. So if there was something odd about one of the digits it would look exactly the same on all the stamps(ie they used an "I" instead of a "1"). So would they stamp the engine/trans and then hit the top of the cowl and firewall by the heater box all with the same stamp before changing the gang stamp for the next car?
