You've nailed it, no one else but Carlos Ghosn personally pushes a big red button with number "4" engraved on it every night before he goes to bed and a computer program written by offshore contractors in Bangalore picks a winner randomly from a pool of VIN numbers that are currently reporting 42-43.5Ah.
If seriously, the variance is likely due to some logic (or flaw) in the algorithm that the LBC uses to determine the bar count. For example, the LBC may store the capacity value it discovered initially when the pack was new and calculate % lost using the current Ahr measurement relative to that number. There is likely some variance in capacity across different packs when they are new, so while the % when the 4th bar drops across cars is the same the Ahr number when it happens is different.
