By the way it is now well proven that the sizes on JSB and AA tins mean absolutely nothing, so forget that bit. Also a die number with a different date is most likely not the same pellet as something will have changed.

Most JSB and AA pellets have been quite good over the last year or so in most guns that suit them, but they do vary from batch to batch. Die 8, 54,45 and 10 seem to have been quite good recently. Not too many bad ones though.
No, the press is the machine that the dies are fitted in to,
if the same set of dies is used in two different presses it's likely that different levels of wear & tear tolerance within the actual machine will produce slightly different finished pellets as a result.

The numbers may be in a different order but they will/should contain the same required information.
