That is weird. Is there a Part Number stamped on it anywhere.?
Hopefully someone else may comment.

They used to have two sets of level marks. One side was with engine running oil warm and the other side was engine stopped oil cold. Sometime in the nineties they stopped doing that on many if not most machines and only had the cold markings.

For a transmission where the level is supposed to be checked with the engine idling & warm wouldn't is make sense to have the markings for "Engine Idling: Oil Warm" if there was only going to be one set.?
John, can you think of any reason why the Add mark should be above the Full mark.? That's what I can't get my head around.

The markings look a little suspect to me. It's like someone used an engraver to make those marks.
I've been seeing the smaller machines with dipsticks that only have one marking and it was checked engine stopped, oil cold for awhile now.

That would explain it. Although from the orientation of the text it looks like the top of the stick should be at the top of the photo.
