This is a completely separate technical problem with no easy solution yet
proposed. And it affects far more than just the ending of Mark, as some
translations will do this throughout the Old Testament books of Daniel and
Esther as well (notably the print version of the Jerusalem Bible I have,
which numbers both the Protestant and Catholic verse numbers throughout the
differing portions of the text. The Jerusalem Bible is under copyright, but
I would be surprised if it did not, in some way, show up in other
specialized types of translations).
