I think this one looks OK, I like the general look and wear of the finish. Just look really closely at the crimps and see if there is any sign that the plate has been removed.

No, but it must have been part of the reverse die as several of them can be found with these same exact marks. S&L CCCs have them too, but in a different configuration, so it might be the way the reverse die was cut IMO.
