Unfortunately, there are no statistics about these imitations but imitations and hybrids are not very rare for Arles mint especially for campgates and votives, particularly at that time.
You should have a look at Lech's page to see the wide range of this type in "irregular coins" for Arles mint : http://www.notinric.lechstepniewski.info/av7.html
