I have one on my 750K1.  They are usually replacements from the drive chain breaking and making a hole in the crankcase.

Those would likely be replacement cases that weren't stamped when they were installed.
Likely replaced due to chain breakage damage to the original cases.

Normally the Honda shop was supposed to stamp the cases when the engine was rebuilt and for whatever reason didn't or someone just bought replacement cases and rebuilt the engine themselves.
Do you have a copy of the Honda Shop Manual or Parts List for your bike? Get one here:
