some kind of method of identifying them.

Each figure would be packaged by separate machines and those packaged figures
would be brought separately to the machine that packs them in the case. So to
the extent that the packing machine "identifies" them, it would do so
by the place they were coming in.

If they really wanted to they could hide a code number in plain sight. For example,
they could have a 16 digit code or barcode randomly assigned to each box, to
confuse people trying to work out their system. Then have the identity as the
9th then 3rd digits, so 7420790518442651 could be a code hiding the identity
that it is number 12 in the series.

For sure they had to use some identification code to store it in their warehouse.
Perhaps nobody will discover it.
Hopefully I'll find a complete set, or maybe I'll buy them on BrickLink,
if the prices aren't bananas level high for one. I'm not sure yet.
Cheers ...
