the holes in the back of the models are usually caused by a not perfect cast (air bubbles).
The metal mold they used has a high cost but it depends on how many copies you need to print... on a high number, like Heroquest was, they will probably find more economic to create a new mould.
Another option, is they tried to prevent damages to the pieces, the skeletios weapons are more protected in the new mold.
Figures have slighty variants with feet "drowing" into the base more or less than others, it means they already did alternate molds in the past rebasing the figures in a different position.
