Clarifying Target Lock

1. Why do some ships come with multiple lock tokens?

It states everywhere that a ship may have only one target lock, yet many of my ships (eg: Sith Infiltrator) come with multiple lock tokens. Why? The (team) upgrade Sensor Experts (allows multiple locks) is available to some ships, but not the Sith - so why multiple lock tokens in the package?

2. Why are Lock Tokens two-sided?

If "SPENDING" a target lock behaves the same way as SPENDING a focus token, then it is, I assume, removed from play when spent ("unspent Focus tokens are removed during the End Phase" implies that spent tokens have already been removed - nowhere does it actually say to remove tokens as they are spent). Why, then, do Lock Tokens have two different sides? This implies that a lock can be "spent" (and the token reversed) once per round but the lock remains in play.

3. Locks dropping when out of range

Does a lock fail if the target at any time exceeds the initial locking range (usually 3)?

R3 Astromech and a couple other pilot/upgrade abilities could allow a ship to target lock multiple ships. They could also be making it easier to support multiple ships e.g. if you have a 1st edition model and a dial from the conversion kit (the conversion kit didn't come with a lot of tokens).
Lock Tokens, Mines, etc are two-sided so one player can be the dark and the other light, mostly just to clearly distinguish which lock/mine/etc is whose is case they brought the same ones.
Locks stay on a ship indefinitely, even out of range. Range only matters when acquiring the lock. The only way they get removed is if they're spent, or if an effect specifically removes them (plowing through a gas cloud, locked ship uses an ability that breaks a lock or removes a red token, etc).
