Why are there discrepancies in how words are spelled and positioned on the cards? For example, “Iugement” and “Justice,” or words written on the left or the right, etc.

There could be a hidden meaning there, or it could simply be that they were simply engraving errors that were repeated subsequently or a combination of both.

Personally, I don’t see that as significant. Tarot has enough clear, unambiguous symbolism to reveal what must be revealed in a reading. Plus, if we feel compelled to ascribe meaning to those details, we can.

Each card is an archetype; knowing its essential meaning is enough to interpret most messages.
