Unusual Mills Casting detail

Here's a photo of an early Mills Operator Bell; looks like nothing unusual, but look more closely and you'll see "Mills" is embossed on the top casting inside the center oval below the reel strips.

This was posted on one of the Facebook groups by a long-time collector/restorer (he may be on this forum; T.E. are you here?) who said he'd never seen that before. He's probably more knowledgeable than me and I'm sure it's new to me too.

If anyone here has one in their collection like it, please let's see it.

Hi nvmos, I just saw this listing come up on Facebook in Stonybrook Long Island and I think it's the same machine you're talking about. The pictures are the same and his picture was on a Ebay listing from a person In Manh
attan, I think this machine is the same one and it's been around.

Didn't know it was listed for sale;
If the photo is the same, then there is still only one that I've seen with this odd little casting detail.
