I decided to take a look at my 30 1936 buffalo's and found this bad boy.

Your coin looks worn down from circulation, not a DDR.

OK, I'll bite. I'm clueless - please explain why your heavily worn example is a DDR.

I'll do a side by side with some arrows which led me to believe this is it on my lunch break but I see where you guys are coming from I need to change the direction of the light in my picture so you guys can see exactly what I see in hand but I'll point some stuff out and you guys can just call me crazy or whatever as I looked through 30 of these today and the EPU looks right to me as I can't tell much from the top of the America.

1936-Buffalo-Nickel-DDR-FS-801

The weird ends of the E
The you and the NU
The top of the R
The top of the I

I haven't seen any thing else with all that. And I saw it and found the fs 801 and it had all the weird looking devices plus I can't see it in the pics but I saw some notching in some devices

And if you look at the whole coin picture of reverse you see the oblong dots and all

Looks like FS-801 to me.

This one is tough to spot in low grades, one of the only ways to see it on a worn coin like this are the pointed letters mrzllewellyn pointed out.

If you take more pics of USA, you'll also see the elongated letters typical of a Class VI doubled die.
