Thanks for all the great comments! And Durwood, yes they are Cuds, but specifically rim Cuds. So in this case they are limited to the rim and don't enter the fields and thus the inside curve of the rim stays nicely circular. What doesn't really show up in the overhead pics is that these Cuds rise above the level of the rim, showing a loss of part of the rim gutter. Yes, there is an unevenness to the rim itself in that area, but that is all just from the strike and related to the damaged gutter in that area. The ends of rim Cuds are typically slightly rounded, but like all die breaks can have pretty linear ends as well.
