Same reason Canadian 2 Tracks signs wound up in America.

It is probably the same reason that Canadian crossbucks made it to the United States a couple times, a railroad would probably mix them up not knowing the difference. Although you would think that someone would notice.

Again, some of them may have been made that way per the railroad's decision before they were standardized in the MUTCD.
