Possibly they had to use the stencil for the vinyl top cars if the assembly line was out of stock on the non-vinyl top one.

Early Van Nuys cars have been observed with the "short stripes". Has nothing to do with vinyl tops or stencil shortages. Take the time to make sure that they are original.If they are take as many pictures and measurements as you can. As little as 10 years ago many experts believed these "short striped" Z/28's did not exist, they do! Awesome car!!!
