In set 75312 the helmet for the Mandalorian sw1135 has a clearly different printing.
The black "visor" is around one mm lower than on helmet 87610pb09. I compared
both versions and the difference is clearly visible.
Actually I am too lazy to add a picture but it was also a topic on eurobricks:

Is there a chance that this will be changed?

If I remember, I will look at mine tonight. But there wasn't a new PCC and
that indicates that TLG considers it to be the same part. How widespread has
it been observed?

It is probably just a variant. The TVA will be along to correct it.

My visor is also lower than the picture of the old one. My vote would be that
it is just a result of putting the piece back into production later and not getting
it all aligned the same. But my vote doesn't count. If an admin says to
fix it, I will fix it.

A note has been added to the entry. As this part has the same exact PCC in both
sets, LEGO does not consider the helmets to be different. I would chalk this
up to the printing setup used for making a second production run of helmets.
