Thanks Paul.
There doesn't seem to be any raised area, even slighty, around the "7".
The more I look at it the more it looks like a ding and a scratch. One even seems to have more patina in it than the other.
Now we do know that a "7" is a relatively common maker's mark on Orders, but has anyone ever seen a mark like that on a common medal?
