Journeyman carpenter here. The top tape is photoshopped. The tongue is intentionally loose so if you're reading inside or outside measurements it will slide and the 1/16 (the thickness of the tongue itself) will be taken out of the equation. We swear by Stanley tapes because they rarely have defects or cheap quality. Yes our tapes wear out, but those tapes last longest, and give us the least shit. Had this picture been of chinesium tapes I would have possibly believed that it was for real.
