Inductor symbol with asymmetric pins length, why ?

(1/2) > >>

BravoV:
As inductor is non polar, why asymmetric pins printed on this big inductor ? (photo attached below)

Its dipped inside the yellow epoxy,and both terminals are identical size & shape.

Pretty sure its not label printing error or misaligned, as it looks it was deliberately made.

X:
It looks like the label was meant to be on the top where the pins protude, but then at the last minute they changed it on the side. It looks like it corresponds exactly with the relative positions of the physical pins.

IanB:
You are asking what do the "ge" and "rt" mean?

Maybe someone from Germany knows what they might be a common abbreviation for.

According to the datasheet the part is symmetrical:

Benta:
Because if Siemens had made the drawing symmetric, someone would complain that the terminals are not centered. Siemens was always very precise with this kind of thing.

Perhaps:
ge = gelb = yellow
rt = rot = red
