Majority don't know about this.
Its not an area most would clean and check for evidence of previous stampings and/or lack of broach marks or inconsistent broach marks. Thin spread of filler or heavy prime-paint will usually cover these stampings nicely as those plants generally tend to be lighter depth.
This is probably a bit too advanced detective work for most to grasp.
But those blocks are the prime candidates for this type work.
This block also looks to have heavy paint materials on the facing
particularly in the upper extremities.
Doesn't mean for any fact at all, that there has been any monkey business.
Just means an advanced buyer might do more thorough investigations.
And be completely satisfied when all measures are exhausted and passed.
we all spend our time and money in different ways.

OK...I have added 3 more pictures on the photobucket link showing the Block Casting Number, The "400" Casting, and I sanded and rubbed the area you indicated and did not find any evidence of previous stamping.
