Heh! Back 50 years ago before China was anything but a name for a place, all the junk steel plates and structural stuff came from Japan. I remember the welders knocking out areas of slag imbedded in sheets of steel. They called them knotholes. They would knock them out with a hammer and then weld in a good piece of steel to fill the hole.
That is one clean break. And it looks like it's not at a joint.
