I've not encountered discussion of any marks. I'd guess not, because as a cast product, they'd all be the same--different from hand-fitted wooden ones.

Doug has a good test, and it also works the same way when testing ivory. Someone may weigh in here, with info about what it means that the grips look the way they do. I'm about out of info in this category, now, so I just don't have the specific experience to take you further!
