Just out of curiosity, is there any good way to discern between these two catalog
entries?

 
Part No: 3003pe1 Name: Brick 2 x 2 with Black Eye Offset Pattern on Opposite Sides
* 		3003pe1 Brick 2 x 2 with Black Eye Offset Pattern on Opposite Sides
Parts: Brick, Decorated {White}
 
Part No: 3003pe2 Name: Brick 2 x 2 with Black and White Eye Offset Pattern on Opposite Sides
* 		3003pe2 Brick 2 x 2 with Black and White Eye Offset Pattern on Opposite Sides
Parts: Brick, Decorated {White}

I understand it is easy to identify in any other brick color but when printed
on a white brick how can you tell if the whites of the eyes are printed in white
or not? Or does it even really matter anyways?

The white pattern has a white dot in the eye, the other is just a solid black.

I don't think it does. The white pattern has a white white of the eye, while
the non-white pattern has a transparent white of the eye (that is, that area
is simply not printed).

Yes, peregrinator is correct.

[P=3003pb024,1]

Is a different printing with the dot in the eye.

That appears to be a third version, only in use since 2010.

Does 3003pe2 really exist in white? I can't imagine why they'd print
white on white...

I have been asking myself that question since 2010.
