Did you confirm that this carrier was previously mine? When I sold it the sheet metal was still in place over the track...looks like the next owner decided to strip it down even further. When you reattach them, careful that you do not have rivets or bolts protruding downwards towards the track....these will get very noisy as the track tries to shear them off.

About the only way you might raise the numbers is to run a grinder with a sanding disc (fairly fine grit) across the area, and then polish the metal with a wire wheel. That should raise most of the numbers. The stamped metal will be a different hardness than the sorrounding metal, and will react differently.

You can also satisfy yourself with the numbers off the division plate and the back angle iron. They should put you within a few hundred of your serial number.
