Looks plausible. Definitely some minor doubling, whichever one it is. Can we get a close-up of the 1 in the date? That seems to be the main pickup point. The foot of the L seems to be a match.

What caught my eye first was the notch on the E and pic #6 on the T. I am also seeing machine tripling which is a form of MD=machine doubling. So maybe a very minor DDO with MD?

I feel it is Machine Doubling. Note all the affected areas are on the outside/inside of the devices.

Looking at the notching on the E and the doubling on the lower right leg of R to the East, it looks like a good candidate for being a DDO, but it does not look match the WDD0-005, I think it is the DDO-017

Certainly looks like 017 to me as well.

Yours even appears to have the horizontal "G" shaped die gouge on the collar. It is kind of hidden by a shadow in your images. A nice image of that marker would be great.
