Question bolt head marking? what grade?

Putting the car back together...

I got a couple of bolts with a strange marking on the head.

It looks like... " ll " just two parallel lines. not roman numerals. I have no idea what grade they are.

Any ideas?

well, that doesn't match what I've got.

The bolts do not have normal SAE or Metric grade markings. Just two parallel lines in the center of the head.

Could be a manufacturer's marking. Where'd they come from?

Suzuki motor.

It's the original bolts, they match the others in appearance. Just different markings than the others.

I think they came off the crank pulley but I'm not sure.

I actually broke a bolt when putting the pulley back on so I checked them all out. The one that broke had NO marking. It was the only "generic" bolt in the bunch???

Most the bolts are Grade 5 with the three marks in a " Y " shape. But I have four bolts with the strange " ll " marking. I think they are for the crank pulley but not sure.

I've searched the net but can only find SAE and Metric marking guides.
