I look at a picture that appears they may have done it different this time?
In my youth I worked with various metal from aluminum to armor plate - in a few shops.
Cast stock looked very simular to that photo. Stamped stock smooth. Under magnification you could see the side first struck would have slight curve smooth corner while the other side would have slight burr. The sides would be slightly scored in direction of punch.
Sure looks cast 2 Me, L0L
