can anyone ID this volvo stamp logo pattern

So when i inspected my replacement motor i noticed the water pump had this logo that looks very similar to the logo/pattern on the engine block and i mistakenly thought was a volvo waterpump.

An online search with no results and i am fairly sure its not a volvo supplier.

Rather than stress about it, I think i am going to swap it for my genuine volvo water pump that i had on the old engine when i get a new gasket, the previous owner (ive seen mechanics do this) didnt use a gasket but some type of red silicon?..i hope it doesnt prove stuck on.

If i need to force it off, is there a risk of damaging the block?

ALSO has anyone had a water pump sieze, it would give you a warning noise before it shreds the timing belt and ruins the motor?

Hold off on this for a bit. It might be SK industries in India, which is aftermarket but makes stuff for heavy equipment with a good reputation.

Found this….
