Colt uppers serialized?

I was just checking out the upper for my new 6921. In the notch on the upper that the charging handle latch locks into, I noticed a serial number or what appears to be a serial number. Has anyone else noticed this on Colt uppers?

I haven’t checked to see if it matches the lower serial number yet, since the lower is still at my dealer awaiting pickup and I’m too lazy to dig out the paperwork.

It’s Colt’s CAGE code.

Ah! That makes much more sense. Thanks.
