I've never seen metal letters used on stones that old. It could be that they added the letters later on after the original lettering faded away. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I really like the wider pic in #3 and the light and shadow you captured in #4 rocks. (I'm old. I can say things like 'rocks')
