I haven't found any yet, but I did find these which look like they had the wrong number dug out and repaired.
And these names put in upside down.

About this Blog
I live in the Sunset, grew up in the Sunset, and have lived all but three years of my life in the Sunset and Parkside.
I love the homes out here, inside and out. The way the pastel colors look in the fog, how every home in a seemingly identical row has its own little quirks.
I walk around the neighborhood a lot and found I was asking myself things like "is that the only house with that medallion?" or "I wonder when that addition was built?" or "What were they thinking?". So I started taking photos to keep a record of the little details now in abundance that one day may be gone.

On Lincoln Way around 2nd, it looks like they used an upside-down 7 for the L for Lincoln in a couple of places. A few years ago, it was even spelled "Lincon" at one intersection!
I moved out of the Inner Sunset a year and a half ago, so who knows what the streets there say now -- it all may have been fixed.
Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look next time I'm down that way. I just ran across "31th" yesterday.
