I suppose you're giving US measure. The British is a wee bit lower. I'm sticking out my neck here, but I think that for Ringo's spouts, some are in drams (the English?), some in grammes (the French?) and maybe some in grains. Probably the spouts graded 65 to 80 are grains, the spouts graded 8 to 9 to 10 are grammes.
Beautifully complicated.
