They all appear to be from the same die with a common die marker visible.

My guess is that there is some die deterioration going on.
The ends of the letters can move very slightly and/or become doubled hence the dot can appear to move relative to the top of the Y.

Good pickup echi. Great pic.

Is this another example? Plenty of doubling going on as well. PCGS Certificate Verification Coin Details for Cert #46533051 Currently in Roxbury's auction.
As we age we lose three things, one is our memory and arrrrr I\'ve forgotten the other two!

Thank you Auto,Neal and Echi for your knowledgeable opinions regarding this coin. My humble opinion is that there is so much I don't know about Commonwealth predecimal coinage, but have learnt about the 1941 kg high dot after y.

The one in the Roxbury auction appears to be the standard version.
The "High Dot Y"s all have a "stepped" rim as well, and that one looks normal.
