Spot the mistake

Check the back label of this Conde Hermanos 735 hard tension strings, I think there is an error on it, can anyone see it? I can't find these strings locally, can something confirm that this is normal on all the Conde packages? On the front label, it also says 'clear tension', it should say 'clear trebles'.

I bought this in a reputable guitar shop two weeks ago, no reason to believe they are fakes. I'm quite economical on strings, so I have to wait until later to try out the sound.

Sorry for the quality of the back label, it's almost impossible to read. The address actually says:
Conde Hermanos c/Felipe V, 2
Madrid (EASPANA)

Should it be Espana?

The front side normally looks like this:

It could be a fake

The guitar label says Hermanos Conde and the strings are Conde Hermanos?
If that's it, no problem, they seem to use it both ways.
I had a Felipe V with the lable saying Conde Hermanos and when I queried it, that's what they said.

I don't think its fake. The front of the packets are virtually IDENTICAL except for the writing in the bottom right-hand corner. Not sure why its black and white though. Perhaps Francis' set is from a different batch or something. Although it would be interesting to know if Arash's packet says "AEspana" on the back too. If so, its just a typo that they overlooked...

They should not be fake strings although I find strange that they can't spell Espana. Black and white because I forgot to put the correct parameters on my scanner as I was scanning some music!!!
