We have a way of writing numbers in certain situations. Think of it like checks in the US where we write things in a certain way so that the numbers can’t be easily changed to increase the value or something.
I see, the right column is used because they share their Chinese reading 音読み with the numbers, that makes sense. I don’t know all of the Kanji, but the ones I know fit.
