Who does this forge marking belong to?

According to a lower manufacturer I spoke with, that is the forge mark for Brass Aluminum Forgings:

Supposedly the only places that are making AR forgings currently are Brass Aluminum, Cerro and Anchor Harvey. I don't know if Cardinal and Alcoa are still making them. I haven't seen uppers with those forge marks in quite some time.
I think out of sheer curiosity, it would be interesting to have an at-a-glance chart of how many suppliers some of the more prominent makers got their upper receivers from, then check the dates, and compare that to the political climate of the time. Yeah, I know, keep my mouth shut, but it still would be interesting to see.
The cardinal forge mark is what Ive seen the most of from various assemblers.
I also Have a Colt upper marked with a "C" and a keyhole to the right of it
I don't see any forge marks on my Mega... what forge leaves no marks?
