In the John Carpenter movie "The Thing" (not the prequel), there is a sign at the American base that says it is outpost 31.?

When they are calling for help on the radio, they use a different outpost number. What's the deal with that?

    Just a mistake, a similar mistake occurred in John Carpenter's earlier film "Assault on Precinct 13", which was so named despite the titular precinct actually being identified as "Precinct 9, Division 13" in dialogue.

    08:03 Proceed to Precinct Nine, Division 13, and take over from Captain Gordon.
