> What causes these discrepancies? 

Normally the tolerances in the weighing machines, which seem to be greater
for larger bells.  Alan Hughes told me that he expects his weighing machine
to be plus or minus 2 pounds, which partly explains his bewilderment at the
obscession ringers have with bell weights!  Even the old tenor from Cornhill
was weighed at Whitechapel (1960) as 42-0-6, but weighed at Taylors as
42-2-24.
