Also I’m wondering if the 1982 one is a serious and official mark, or witty graffiti. It could of course have been added at any point since.

Measuring the distance between the two markers to see if it matches recorded data might cast light on that. I’m not volunteering, but if someone else fancies popping down there with a tape measure, please report back!

I like the slightly rough almost hurried nature of the later inscription, it’s like the carver was saying “nah nah ours was higher!”
