Both 叚 and 假 have their own entries in the 說文. 叚 is the sound element in 假
rather than a variant of it.
又部:叚:借也。闕
人部:假:非眞也。从人叚聲。一曰至也。《虞書》曰:“假于上下。
Editor: you should check that 說文 goes on to say:
叚:借也。-- 借: 假也。
So 叚 and 假 are chars with the same pron and the same meaning. We may say or not say that they are variants, that's a moot point -- In fact the Chinese language doesn't stop in the Han dynasty, and Kangxi says:
《集韻》或作
Diff:
- 叚 叚 [jia3] /variant of 假, fake/
+ 叚 叚 [jia3] /false/
