Question Junkyard Rotor housings???

I just took the engine of 90 GXL. The back rotor has no compression. When we, my father and I, set the engine down we noticed that the front rotor housing had a big "F" written on it with a paint marker, the rear rotor housing had an "R" written on it (below the leading plug hole) My father thought the rotor housing may have come from a junkyard, so maybe the engine had been rebuilt before. Has anyone else seen similiar markings?? Just curious. Thanks!

Most likely was rebuilt before. A lot of rebuilders mark them so they know where they go.
