Was it common for Winchester to have 2 or 3 different label dates on their two piece boxes? Pics below are the same box I have.

Yes.  It seems like these dates pertain more to the month and year the label was printed, rather than the actual date of the ammo.  As we all know, Winchester didn’t  waste  anything.  I probably have as many mismatched  label dates as I do matching dates.

Rick is correct.  The date is for the label and only means the ammo was made sometime after the date.
