Gidday guys, I asked the same Question some time back regarding a Canadian Carrier that came from the same place your machines at. The Blokes here answered pretty quickly that when the steel sheet was being manufactured it would warp/ curl what have you, so they put the sheets through a stamping process to flatten the sheets out hence the marks.
If you do a search within the carrier section of this forum under "Canadian Project" you'll find the thread.
Cheers David....

Quite so, David. These are straightening marks given that flat plate armour warps during the production process. Interestingly, I've see an armourless carrier, the plate of which has been replaced by mild steel, so adorned simply with the aid of an axe...
