It's probably just the way the light is hitting it, but please take a very close, careful look at the first creed stamp in the tan bag and tell me exactly how the word "wrinkles" is spelled on that creed. ETA - the style looks like a Dixon Mini from 1993, style number 4124
The second one is a Penelope Bucket Tote from 2002. I don't see any problems with it. There were MAJOR changes in creeds, serial numbers, linings, everything, when Coach switched production to China in 2000. A bag from that time will have very different details than earlier classic and vintage styles and shouldn't be compared to them.
