Were Singapore made HP-32Sii produced with different keycaps?

Yes, the molds do wear out and that could indeed be the cause. Keys made from worn molds are very common on Voyager machines (look closely at your V. keys with a loupe or simple magnifying glass), where you can also easily find keys that appear to have been shot once for 12C use, and the re-shot (somehow) for use on 11C/15C/16C use.
