Hi Chris,
My guess is that it's an authentic tag likely made out of aluminum. I'm new to tags though so could be incorrect.
I see 9 characters down the left side and 3 on the right. My thoughts are as follows...
Top to bottom...u/k, 4, 5, u/k, man #, 2, 4, 3, 8. The man # isn't a direct translation just what that symbol indicates I believe.
The three on the right are...
Top to bottom...u/k, 4, 5.
I'll work on the u/k ones shortly.
Regards,
Stu

it is definitely a not your typical standard dog tag. The characters on the right usually don't repeat themselves on the left.
unfortunately there was so much variation in the original. this makes it difficult to tell the real ones from the fakes from china, which have gotten better even within this past year.

In regards to the original tag submitted, I think that there is different meaning to the two identical sets of numbers stamped into the tag. On the right hand side, is the designation for the 45th Infantry Regiment. The left side of the tag has 45th Inf. stamped as well, with the addition of I think "replacement" afterward. Then it is the soldiers individual number.
