0 and O in mould codes can sometimes be very difficult to determine, especially depending on the font chosen. Sometimes there isn't even a clear answer. I did notice that several of these have other SID codes that are V9P#, so I'm inclined to think they could be O instead of 0, but I can't say with 100% certainty.
If you have any clear pictures of the mould codes in question, feel free to share and I'd be happy to provide an opinion.

I reviewed several dozen wii entries for mould sid codes, and I believe the pattern is ALWAYS followed of V9[letter][number], with exception to the zeroes that are interpreted that way.
For Wii US, I'm inclined to think all V90 should actually become --> V9O.

The O/0 in bikerspade's image doesn't look rounded, but it's kind of hard to tell for sure. I agree that the format for most discs is V9[letter][number], but I think more image comparisons are needed before any mass changes are done.

I do agree that we should ALWAYS be very cautious and sure before doing ANY sorts of mass changes.

I don't know much about mould codes, but is it possible that they are typed in, in the factory, by someone copying off a piece of paper, and therefore could have O/0 transcription errors at source?

Moving this to another section as it has gone beyond the realm of fixes

This may be a human error.
There was probably something like a rule on those codes,
but a worker may have made a mistake by using a digit "0" instead of a letter "O" at the third position.
Misprints and mistakes like that should be preserved.

Agree.
