While packing this group of 4 boxes for upcoming move, noticed the bottom one was different.
Look at the bottom box "C" in BLACKHAWK... were the 2 different C's an early or late production thing or maybe different suppliers?
Have others with C like the bottom one, but most others are like the top 3.

That's interesting, I have never noticed it. You have sharp eyes my friend.

I went and checked all of mine and I do not have the odd "C" on any of my boxes. Neat

Not only the different font of the C but the other writing is more orange tinted on that one versus more yellow on the others, at least to my eyes.

I suppose that can happen with a different printer, but to my knowledge Ruger only had one printer for these types of boxes.
In that case, perhaps that printer just did different/renewed artwork or obtained updated equipment.
The 2nd box pictured is for a .41 mag.
Also, there are 2 known .44 FT boxes with “Catalog No. BKH-46”.
