Difference In Wording ...

Changing numbers in the book and illegal numbers (uniform) are both enforced only if the team members are one of the five participants (players). Both are ignored for team members who are not participating (bench personnel) at the time of discovery. The former is charged to the team, the latter is charged directly to the head coach (seatbelted).
Thus they are separate and not fully equal situations that are not administered the same way (team vs. head coach).
Identical numbers are a completely different animal. A technical foul for identical numbers can be charged to any team member (not necessarily a player) at the time of discovery (after the ten minute mark). It's a team foul.
