Yes, mane people have listed it: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=48183&colorID=10

The newer version with the notches was introduced shortly after Dark Gray was
replaced with Dark Bluish Gray, so it's possible that some sets contained
the new part in the older color.

The problem could stem from this set:

 
Set No: 8385  Name: Exo Stealth
* 
8385-1 (Inv) Exo Stealth
81 Parts, 2003
Sets: Racers: Power Racers

The set was released in 2003, so it should have included this part in dark gray
instead of dark bluish gray. However, all the other parts in the set are bluish
grays, so the year of release for this set may be incorrect since the changeover
occurred in 2004.

I have 37 plates w/stud notches in dark gray,
 
Part No: 48183  Name: Wedge, Plate 3 x 4 with Stud Notches
* 
48183 Wedge, Plate 3 x 4 with Stud Notches
Parts: Wedge, Plate
but never parted out any #8385s.

I wonder if the notched part was an alternate, but never noted?

I can't say for certain, but those crazy bonus box sets might have played
a role as well.
The sets like this one:
 
Set No: 4679b  Name: Super Value 500 LEGO Elements (Bonus box and its contents only)
* 
4679b-1 Super Value 500 LEGO Elements (Bonus box and its contents only)
2004
