2n3904 different pinout

[DVB_master]

Hello, I have a pair of 2n3904 transistors, that have inverted pinout. Like this. Is it normal?

What an ugly draw!

Sure it's not a 3906? Those are PNP BJTs

  I've never seen, or heard of that.

If you are looking from the top this is an NPN transistor

This is the correct pinout looking form the top!!!

I have a common tester that measures hFE. I have about ten 2n3904, two of them are gray on the flat side. The other are entirely black. When I measure the grey NPN transistors the correct pinout is the one in the first post, but when I measure the hFE of the black 2n3904, I must turn them of 180 degrees so that the pinout is CBE. Is it strange? I have heard that japanese transitors have inverted pinout... Could be this case?
