Different Manufacturing date

My mac 128k has a different date than the keyboard and the mouse. Is this normal or did the previous owner switch the keyboard and the mouse or the mac?

it's normal if they're slightly off, like say one number apart, like 8403 on the computer, and 8404 on the keyboard and mouse

I meant like the date. The mac it’s self was made in the 30th week of 84 but the mouse and keyboard were made in the 48th week of 84.

Either switched at some point or the Mac was in inventory for ~18 weeks (seems less likely, though still possible). I don't think they always match, though.
