Wrong date on CWGC headstone

This poor chap, Pte #24950 Edward Duffy 17/KLR has had the incorrect date 12th Oct 1916 on his headstone. 

His Soldiers Effects and Pension Card quite clearly state 10-12 July 1916, thankfully I've managed to get CWGC to change their online record and they have promised to order a new stone.

It's a strange one because the family placed a death notice in the newspaper on the 1st Aug 1916 and then have authenticated the later October date, see the actual records here on CWGC
