	Maybe as simple the parents wasn't married at the time of registration,,,,,but both present then allowing the father to give consent but did infact marry later,. It was and still is a usual move. Another could be ,the birth was entered with a wrong index,,,,or appeared in another month or year,,,the surname wasn't spelt right. so many reasons to have a suffix against the indexes,,,,,,
