I’ve got a collection of number bricks in a font other than what I can find in
the current catalogue (ie not standard, bold or serif).

Am I just not managing to find the correct entry or is their justification for
adding these patterns to the catalogue?

It is possible these were UK printed ones, at that time they had their own factory
for certain parts.
It would be nice if you had the box that goes with it.

About adding them, maybe just put in the listing the fact that the font is different?
And add your own picture...

My 2 cents

Cheers.

I got these in a bulk lot with the boxes sadly long gone. I'm not actually
selling at the moment, but do try to log everything I collect offline on Brickstore
in case sometime down the line I change my mind.

I'll just use the standard database entry in the meantime but was a little
surprised not to find these in Bricklink given how comprehensive the database
is.

Yeah, lots of the older stuff is still missing because not much is left.

You can try and add these to the catalog, but it takes time.
Most likely these are from set
 
Set No: 434  Name: 50 lettered bricks (The Building Toy)
* 
434-1 (Inv) 50 lettered bricks (The Building Toy)
50 Parts, 1966
Sets: Classic: Supplemental
These were released in the UK.
