Injector Solenoid drill mark?

Every one of my injectors has this machined/drill mark on the solenoid. Does this mean anything to anyone? I was told it had some super injectors in it when i bought it but seems like theyve go to be stock, maybe the mark is some type of a rebuilders identification mark. They are also all the same part number except for the one that is more of a yellow color in the rear drivers side

hm maybe thats what they are maybe ill ask swamps if theres any way i can identify. It does smoke quite a bit with the ts6 chip up.
the previous owner had told me they where 'stage 3' which i would think id be melting pistons and barely be able to drive it with a stock turbo. I use it a mechanic service truck so its always heavy, i almost always have if on 6 and never had an issue.
if i do end up being able to identify them it would be great as i would like to be able to tune it properly if i ever go further with the motor since i dont work it much anymore
thanks

Some rebuilders also engrave the hold down on the side. That's where my Rosewood injectors are marked.

Drilling holes in the solenoid is a poor way to identify.

If you’re on the stock turbo I hope no one was stupid enough to put stage 3s in there…. Do you have an egt gauge?
