Has anyone received copy of I-797 instead of original

I received ASC Appointment Notice for I-485 finger printing.
It has been over 18 months since I was last finger printed.
To my surprise its a copy instead of the usual greenish original.

(Its not a photocopy as there are no watermarks or logos on it.
The notice is printed on a regular A4 white paper)

Its front side copy only. Has anyone received anything like this?

I noticed that on top right of the envelope it shows Pitney Bowes.
I wonder if they forgot to send the original by mistake.
I'm also worried if the ASC will have any issues with the copy.

Thanks for your response. Congrats on your LPR!

I do not have a lawyer. It was sent straight from USCIS.

I looked at it again. Its not a photocopy of the I-797. I-797 has curved lines and bunch of water mark logos in it.
Its printed on a regular A4 size white paper.

Makes me wonder if USCIS ran out of printing stationary for I-797 and started using regular paper !
There has been sudden surge of filers due to application fee change. This is again my hypothesis.

(U.S. Department of Homeland Security, National Benefits Center, Post Office Box 648004, Lee's Summit, Missouri 64064) is the address printed in blue on top left of envelope.

Top Right of the envelope says:
US Official Mail Penalty for private use $300 Pitney Bowes U.S.Postage $00.37 AUG 10 2007 ZIP 64063 000130 21 2072449)
