    It is possible that it is from die 'deterioration' where as the die is used , the pressing force tend to spread the metal slightly away from the center towards a collar. Zeroes tend to become slightly 'egg shaped' and are more noticeable because of their symmetry. Why different is perhaps the amount of usage of the no P die is more than the other. Master die touch-up could also do it. I am not a Canadian coin person.

    Different master dies. Notice that the C's in Canada are a different size and the crossbars in the first A's are different. One is slanted and the other is horizontal.
