Came to me as a round label RAM.....I removed the original label and saw this?? It has the outline and the slots for the earlier label....But the rectangular area is not recessed? Kinda neat!

looks like teh stamping machine had components that could be raised or lowered to indent or leave out the sqaure label part. Makse sense instead of making a new die. Its so nice and shiny though.

That is wild. I wonder why they bothered to keep the old label slots though. Strange...

Gonna keep it?? never seen one like that. Maybe some sort of late square label surplus case that got repressed for the new round label design??? good conversation piece.
