Looks like corrosion may have had its way with it.

It almost looks like it was decked(looks like you can see marks at an angle from the circular cutter) and then started to rust over the decked area. It's probably my eyes going bad, but it looks like I can see the top part of a "2" after the "Z". You'd really have to examine that closely in person to tell if the pad was decked or not.

Pull the head and take a look if possible. You should see it then.

Nothing looks out of place on the stamping. It looks legit. Years of corrosion (mentioned) and tons of paint have clouded the surface.
I have seen a lot worse then that on original stampings.
Lack of visual broach marks with all that crap on the pad is non-issue.
