Long before the introduction of window numbers, V8s had specific regulations on numbers, approved by CAMS and in the CAMS manual of the time. Those regs were different to the CAMS general regulations.
Then V8s become an FIA Series and kept the same number regs, approved by the FIA and CAMS general regs on numbers did not apply.
Teams did not "get away with liberties" as you put it - they were compliant with the regulations for the series they were running in.
