Possibly within the margin of error of the mechanism?
Almost certainly not. 100 tpi and 96 tpi drives locate cylinder 0 in
a different place--and over 77 cylinders, the difference is
substantial. My guess is that the faceplates came prelabeled and the
factory guys just grabbed the 96 tpi faceplates when they ran out of
100 tpi ones.
