I'm not sure, but it looks like the metal got scraped to the right on on the B? Just damage

That's what I thought. We could make up "just so" stories about it all day and not know exactly what did this. I'm seeing the second letter as a compressed "B" rather than an "I" or die chip. My story is that it took a hit that scraped the "I" away completely and some of the "B", leaving just the medial rounding of the "B".

Could a roller finger accomplish that?
