Is it safe to assume that a 99 and a green box means that there are set inventory
discrepancies with regard to specific parts?

Set 75257

Not “discrepancies” but different “production runs” of the same set, with slightly
different inventories.  For instance, when a variant change during production
and that has effects on the build so TLG needs to change other parts (Tower Bridge),
or when something doesn’t work well (Mission Intercept Base).

 
Set No: 10214 Name: Tower Bridge
* 		10214-1 (Inv) Tower Bridge
4287 Parts, 2010
Sets: Sculptures
 
Set No: 6987 Name: Message Intercept Base
* 		6987-1 (Inv) Message Intercept Base
538 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1988
Sets: Space: Blacktron I

Appreciate the feedback.

This set was odd as the alternatives were much more material and went beyond
the standard mold variations.
