Last time to visit this one but evidently, I didn't provide convincing images on some of the markers or showing the thickness. (I was trying to contain the # of images.) If these couple of images still don't work my apologies.
A simple yes or no might be helpful to let me know if I've succeeded.

DDO first and then match markers.
I agree completely and that's just what I did, I confirmed the thickness for a class 6
DDO. Then I went looking for markers, which were elusive, but I was still able to find some of them. We all know die maintenance and polishing can eliminate some of the markers.
The markers closest to the devices (letters) generally seem to fair the best since the technicians at the mint didn't want to "eliminate" the devices by over polishing that area.
Here are the images. First is CC image of TR where I've added blue lines showing the general thickness of the letters. (The thickness isn't as strong as some Class 6 doubling.)
Here is the original CC image of TR with what appears to be the leg of the first "T" being tapered (wider at the base). I've highlighted the tapered effect with green lines.
Here is my coin showing the same effects that I've pointed out on the CC images.
(The base of the "U" is a little thicker than the uprights.)
These images should be considered in conjunction with the images I've already provided showing the corresponding die scratch markers that do match the CC images.
ps. I use "Paint" editing program which only allows me to rotate an image in 90 degree increments, but I tried to get my comparison images as close as possible to CC images.
Thanks again for all the input and I'll try to continue to improve my images and descriptions.
