I don't think those things could get accidentally renamed/swapped.
Things are taken out of the town's inventory when moved by vendors though, so if you have a bored vendor who decides to move things around, you could have some 100-units loads disappearing and reappearing. If several vendors do that for both ore and coal, you could get the illusion of a swap I suppose.
Another thing is the way mines work. The workers dump things just outside and then those piles of ores or iron are taken "at some point" by a laborer or miner leaving work or trader and brought in batch to storage where it finally gets counted. The production doesn't feel very linear because of that, it instead feels like it's happening by big chunks.
