USCIS issued H1b amendment approval notice with validity date in past

Hi,
My employer filed for H1b extension in premium and it was approved on May 26, 2016. The new I797C is valid from May 25, 2016 to Aug 3, 2017.

Then my employer filed for H1b role amendment ('Lead Engineer' to 'Project Manager') in premium and it was approved on Oct 20, 2016. To my surprise, the new I797C shows validity from Aug 3, 2016 to Aug 4, 2016, i.e. only for 2 days and that too in past.

Can this be typographic error by USCIS?

when i notified employer, they immediately asked to file extension again before i completed 180 days from latest i94 expiry date but in nunc pro tunc category. we filed it on 168th day in NPT mode. its in premium now since last 5 days, fingers crossed.
