Same string diff thickness

Was quite surprised when I performed a comparison of the Yonex BG66 Ultimax string actual physical thickness.

The red string appear to be thinner than the yellow. Also find the red string composition to be more solid when compared to the yellow.

Bought from the same wholesaler in UK as the Yonex agent for South East Asia, Sunrise apparently does not sell strings in reel form when I made the inquiry.

Could this be evidence of an OEM activity eg Yonex contracts a 3rd party to manufacture for them, since Yonex does not confirm nor deny if they have factories which produces strings?

Gosen and Ashaway proudly confirms their manufacturing facilities.
