What IOS rev is on the box?
The older IOS's used to do this, I think it has been fixed in the newer
ones, but I'm not sure (I just remember this happening to me a few years
ago). 
Note also that it may have something to do with the boot loader version as
opposed to the ios...

This is quite normal, one is the serial number of the motherboard and the
other the serial number of the chassis.

I'm not losing my mind, no I'm not changing my lines, I'm just learning new
things with the passage of time
