I'm not entirely sure what you're asking there Wladimir. If you are asking whether they are the same glyph, I don't think so.
If you are asking whether the downstroke has been erased, I don't think so either, but I can't do much image processing with that jpg you uploaded. I had a quick look at the originals and couldn't see any signs of erasure.
The middle glyph on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is very strangely formed. Compare it with the traditional 4o - found two words down (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.), which is also missing its downstroke. This latter example is, I feel, because of a lack of ink on the quill. Your 4 is a very rounded left stroke which doesn't correspond to the normal 4.
