Looks like to me that area was flattened. Took it on the ear. Or that was a heavy Grease Fill on that area? Ive never seen a Grease Fill on the ear before though.
It looks very similar to the 2000-D doubled ear I found, but I just can't rule out a coincidental contact mark with this single image.
Ones like this I'm really not confident in giving an opinion one way or another unless I can look at it from a couple different angles with my own eyes.
I will say it has a shot at being a DDO and would be one I would try to get verified.
