Default Rod bearing issue HELP!

So I order my engine bearing kit, as I was going through it I noticed 2 pairs of my 4 rod bearings do not match. So to illustrate:

Rod 1 : top half 4112 / bottom half 4113
Rod 2 : top half 4112 / bottom half 4113
Rod 3 : top half 4112 / bottom half 4112
Rod 4 : top half 4112 / bottom half 4112

​​​​​​​Is there a chance someone mixed up a 9113 pair with the 9112 pair? If that's the case why would 3 pairs be 9112 and only one pair be a 9113? .....HELP?

Yeah I guess I'll have to check my gaps closely but has anyone ever run into the 4 digit stamped number being mismatched?

from Lindsey racing. I know all my old bearings had numbers that matched but the numbers were all over the place. Such as 2350, 3380.....so it's probably not an issue that they are all the same number but they should probably still match the half they are being paired with from what I can tell? I'm just not sure if I should flip my two 4112 / 4113 mismatched sets so they match or not. If the ends of the bearings differ at all it could cause the halves to pitch or be sloppy if paired with the wrong halve, so this is my main concern.
