Runout inscriptions are stamped. Some of the stamped inscriptions might be lightly stamped on the surface, and therefore cannot be transcribed with 100% accuracy, e.g. runout/matrix variant 6, side A, "3" in "A13" is only partially recognizable, but the parts of it that are embedded in deadwax clearly point that this is a number 3. Some parts of inscriptions can also be rotated by 180°, and therefore appear upside-down and pointing in another direction in comparison to the rest of the runout inscriptions, e.g. runout/matrix variant 6, side B "1 - 2A".
