The E suffers from Die Deterioration, not really an MD event. The "U" is interesting, not hub doubling but I don't think it is an MD "hop" either. So what is it? 1) a damaged hit? possible but not likely. 2) It could be plate disturbance doubling in that there was a bubble of gas or debris that was pushed over upon stamp pressure.
It does not appear to be a die crack nor a die break, altho in extreme die state separation can happen.
