Attached is a photo of a recoil plate I encountered. It appears to have a raised marking that I can't quite make out. Possibly an O with an I on the left side inside of the O, or a D. Has anyone seen one of these before, or know what it is? This is a type III recoil plate, not cast.

It is actually a cast recoil plate, flip it over and you may be able to see the part line. 
I have seen what you are calling a marking on the right side as well. It is probably the artifact from when the mold is filled.

Dan, is this the marking you referred to? These are cast recoil plates. You can see voids and parting lines.
