Specs shouldn't really change after a rewind.Maybe the rewinder has dropped a wire gauge if the stator had tight slots or maybe the iron core had been damaged by too much heat applied(if used) during stripping of the stator.33 percent is a significant change for current draw.
Looking at the sequential burn marks on the commutator in your first post,I would say the leads have been layed down in the incorrect order.What was the commutation like under load?...There must have been some unusual sparking there..
