I believed the divot was from wear as the divot seemed to very in depth from one rod to another. Well, yesterday while cleaning out my late fathers NOS parts I ran across five NOS adjuster rods. To my surprise all had a divot, and the divot depths vary from one to another. Link to pictures. So as Denny suggested, he was right, and I eat crow.

That is interesting. I also thought that groove was due to wear.
