National Insurance Number error

Options
I'm just catching up with the financial affairs of an elderly relative, now that I have power of attorney over her.  One of her private pensions shows a slightly wrong NI number.  The final letter differs from that used on all other pensions including her DSS Retirement Pension.

I will write to that pension company to try to correct the mistake.  But is it likely to have led to an error in the tax she has been paying?  And is there no mechanism that should have spotted this mistake years ago?
