Default Breakout speedometer cup question

I bought a Breakout CVO speedometer cup (with the short risers). Thinking about going to Apes. After looking at it it looks like it has two cracks on it (see pics) . One on each side. Still feels solid, kinda looks like the chrome is cracked. I went and looked at my regular Breakout speedometer cup and it has the same cracks in the same place.
My question is can one , some or a few of you with Breakouts look at your Speedometer cup and see if you have the same cracks. Maybe it's not cracks is made that way.
Some know some don't. Speedometer cup on Breakout CVO is attached to the risers. Regular Breakout the speedometer cup is attached to the top clamp.
Thanks

Was curious and was a good excuse to go for a ride (59 degrees- not freezing but cold to us here). Stopped by the dealer to look at other Breakouts. Some looked like they were cracked and some looked like it's just a bevel. Must be the way they made them. Wanted to make sure before I used the parts on my bike.

Took a look at mine and that area looks to have a semi raised ridge that looks like you say kind of a seam. For sure not cracks though. Mine is the regular BO set up.


59 degrees huh...I had to put a jacket on just to go into the attached garage....12 degrees here Mister!
