Pułk 4 Pancerny Group but Monte Cassino Cross Numbers don’t Match

Good day folks.

These came my way today. A very complete set that belonged to a Kapr. Bolesław Szajna who served with Pułk 4 Pancerny "Scorpions".

The only inconsistency is the Monte Casino Cross. The medal is numbered 29642 but on the document the number is 29542. Could this be a mistake on the document or is it the wrong cross?

The British medals are in their issue box and the ribbons don’t appear to have been taken out of their packet. Interestingly he served in Africa. The story is that he escaped from a farm in Germany with a friend, got to the UK via France and Spain.
