When thinking about very specific details it is always difficult to ask oneself if one is in danger of reading too much into a minor detail. I suppose my approach is that when drawing there was something going on in the author's brain and so specific details must be based on something specific in the author's memory or imagination. Details aren't drawn differently and distinctly for no reason. It would have been easier, mentally speaking, to have drawn both loops/rings the same and omitted the two dots, so it required a conscious decision not to do so. Depending on how one's mind works the author was probably basing his drawings on an image or images in his mind, it seems to me, and inevitably to some extent those images much have been influenced by things he had seen before. The point I am making with this is that I don't believe that these kind differences in details were random, there must have been a reason and basis for these differences and so I question whether we can justify overlooking so many of the specific details.
