Did some of that fun stuff yesterday for a client who owns rentals. Had to demo a layer of old vinyl and some brittle 12 x 12 vct under it. 
So much fun with an evap cooler going in 107F and 90% humidity. Actually went pretty smooth once you skin off the top layer of vinyl.
The customer bought 2 full boxes of armstong peel and schtick plus 14 seperate tiles. Didn't notice that they were a different run number till I had all fourteen of them down and opened the boxes, total color shade varience. All the other numbers matched on the boxes and paper backing sticker. The run numbers are printed on the back of the tiles with the arrow.
Course I was over a glass smooth colored concrete slab circa 1940ish and I had primered the slab as every good installer would....stuck like a muther. lol
Called the client , she ran to HD, called me to talk to the HD person on the cell. HD person says theres no way to figure out if they are different run numbers.......really I said? Try peeling off the back paper and tell me what you see. Had the field done and most of the cuts, demo'd the 14 tiles before she even got there. Glad it was a small kitchen.
Anyway, it was fun. Kinda reminded me of the 70's an 80's working for Standard Brands and Color Tile.
