It got smooshed! Hard enough to flatten LIB and push the E sideways.

I'm thinking damage from a lateral circulation hit--possibly from an old-school rotary (mechanical) vending machine (perhaps...). I suspect the damage occurred long in the past, and subsequent circulation continued to 'smooth' the impacted devices.
