TM search question

I have a trade mark question, for those of you that are familiar with
this area:

A search using QO trademark explorer - US federal trade marks - found a
record for US 76437045, which is 'active' according to that database.

A search on the USPTO trade marks database itself did not find a record
for this trade mark. In fact, a few numbers in this area were missing -


76437042
76437043
76437044
76437045
76437046

All of the above were missing, but numbers either side were available.

The USPTO record for US 76437045 does not appear when searching by
number or owner, or the words of the mark itself (VITABLAST).

Can anyone suggest a reason for this?
