It might just be my imagination but it looks to me like there is an upside-down "Y" impression in the last column on the reverse. It's difficult to tell but the left side of the "Y" actually goes under the column. Any thoughts on these pics?

Looks like a die clash, michaelshane1 - good eye to spot that!
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Very cool find and an unusual spot for the Y to show up, it's typically in the second bay. Yours is not listed on Mad Die Clashes. Here is a link with several from 74D's, they obviously had issues that year.
