1953 Penny - Possible Reverse Die Break/Cud on Each Wheat Stalk

Have a 1953 P Penny with two possible die cracks/breaks, one on each stalk. One is north on the left stalk; the other is south
on the right, stretching to the rim. Kinda cool. Any thoughts?

    Die chip on left, possible early retained cud on right.

    Die chips, cuds, and what looks like the beginning stages of laminations?

    Old wheats hold many opportunities.
