If they letters are stamped, that was done at the factory for some reason. Most engine rework people use an engraver signature of some kind, as far as I have seen. Randy signs "randy" with a number. Tom Lay was "T&L" with a number, Byron Barker signed "Byron" with a number , I think, Larry Foster signed L&J with a number, and that's all I can think of right now.
Type at you later,

My GP40 has KG stamped under the left lug and FP40 has CR. Bought both of these new so like mentioned already yours are probably factory stamps.
