Bottom bracket axle marks - what is this?

[prburns]

This bottom bracket axle (cottered) currently resides, but I suspect is not native to, a Schwinn Continental from somewhere around 1944-46. Can anyone tell me what these markings signify? I'm particularly interested in the figure on the left. Thanks.
