Actually looks more like a patching filler weld to cover/repair a bad cold shut. Notice the other two spatter spots near the repair - They don't "present" anywhere else in the pics shown. They just didn't think the smaller crater on the other side was worth the effort, so must have been a significant hole they fixed. Re-etching probably won't show anything diff.
