Subject: [CR]"New" stamping found on old Campy crank

Tonight I found a very interesting stamp on a 1973 Campagnolo Record Strada 170mm drive crank, hidden when in use, on the front of a chain ring separator. There is a tiny C inside a diamond/rhombus, as typical of the marking stamped on inner chainrings of the period. I have never seen or heard of this before, nor have I ever seen it discussed here ... has anyone else seen this? Since these cranks are clearly marked with typical Campagnolo stampings, I suspect it could be an "in-house" thing, indicative of the actual manufacturer, be it Campy, or a sub-contractor. What do y'all think?
