For all who enjoy 79s rev78, there is a new set on SSDC. In specific, the set contain 79S rev79 that shared Obverse die with the 79S rev78. Thank you Brent for adding this very challenging set.

Based on the rotation, the marking you pointed out is impossible to be part of the "E".
Imo is just a scuffed.

I think you both (vamsterdam and Vam-mysterio) are correct.
