laziness on the part of the manufacturer clearly nails it, the UK filecards frequently changed as little as possible - maybe a real name, like Sci-Fi becoming Sebastian Fine instead of Seymour, usually a birthplace, and often little else. Leatherneck is the worst offender of this laziness as well as proof of how badly it was done since he is recast as being German and they simply subbed out the references to Parris Island and Lejeune and so on with German place names which in practice are probably meaningless if the German Marines don't have bases there. Why he wasn't left a US Marine I've no idea. Some of the nationality changes make some sense - Recondo as an Australian seems legit with that hat, Airtight having a Germanic real name makes sense for him being German - but others just seem random as hell like making Ace Canadian, Roadblock French-Congolese in 1985 or British in 1994, making Stalker French or Doc Jamaican.
