Thanks for the extra images. It is beneficial because it proves another point. While there are no die scratch above or below the Memorial, die scratches fade in different ways. The ones in the open field areas flatten quicker than than devices near devices. Sometimes you will looking for a marker that the die scratches have flattened, but if you look inside of devices, or next to the devices, you will still see the previous die scratches still appearing there. This is an example that the two die scratches were protected because of the surrounding devices. If there were a doubled die, the lines would be wider that form the extra columns. these are narrow like die scratches and that is what they are. Again thanks for posting these images as the explanation will help a lot of other collectors in there search for markers for known varieties.
