Would you use 80 grit (those are what the sanding scratches show) to take paint off, I think not

I don't think it was sandpaper. It looks like a circular grinder. (Note the curves in the grinding grooves).

There is still something wrong with the stamps. If the number was stamped and then painted before grinding, there would still be paint in the impressions. There is not.

Yup, 80 grit sanding disk on a 4" grinder, if you look closely at the picture of the shock tower top, you can see both sides of the disk coming into contact and leaving the tell tail signs.

Yep, like that.
