Default "U" on camshaft?

Can someone tell me what the U means on the front of the cam in my motor?
It's a 59L motor out of a 1946 COE.
Thanks,
Joe

Also looks like it could be a poorly stamped "0".

I concur with the "0" theory! DD

Have no idea what an "0" would mean, other than what DD said.

Maybe an expert will chime in.
