White lettering same model sometimes/sometimes not, why?

I was looking at a set of goodyear wrangler duratracs 275/70/18s for my 05 and noticed that particular size doesnt include the white lettering, but various other sizes of the exact same tire/model do, is there a reason they do this in the same model of tire? seems random, but maybe theres good reason?

Tire Rack claims they have both OWL and blackwall in that size.

They do the same thing on my tyres...MTR's with Kevlar...and don't know why. My 305/70's only come in white letters BUT you can't turn mine around to the other side cause they're asymmetric. The Duratracs are not asymmetric so I don't know why they don't just make all of them white letters on one side and black on the other?????????

I suspect a software glitch.
I saw that tire size today in OWL on Tire Rack.
Just call a Goodyear dealer and ask.
