Bearlegged-
Cool, that was what I figured. It’s just been a while since I did any geared stuff!
There was another photo of the back of the cassette where it was more obvious that there was a pattern of two ‘shaped’ teeth/ramps then 5 normal ones repeating around the whole cog so that convinced me it wasn’t wear and I bought it.
Good to have my hypothesis confirmed!

Would you say this cassette was worn or is it just the shaping of the teeth for shifting?
The red arrow is pointing at what looks like wear but the side of the trough where the yellow arrow is pointing looks in good shape and the green arrow points to what looks, to me, like a trough in very good shape.
I need a 7 speed spacing cassette to fit to a Hope trials freehub so this one would work nicely, newer ones have 6 cogs in the block and one loose so will be too long for the freehub body. I could cut split up a new one but if I can use a block thats bolted together it might keep the cogs from digging into the freehub so much.
Edit: Helps if I attach the image...
