I recently parted out

 
Set No: 75316  Name: Mandalorian Starfighter
* 
75316-1 (Inv) Mandalorian Starfighter
535 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2021
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars The Clone Wars

and it has a few of these:

 
Part No: 2341  Name: Slope, Inverted 45 3 x 1 Double
* 
2341 Slope, Inverted 45 3 x 1 Double
Parts: Slope, Inverted

I noticed while parting out that one looked like it had a nasty scratch on the
side. On closer inspection, it turned out to be the sprue mark! Really surprised
to find a slope with the sprue mark on the side in 2021.

strange indeed
they should be out of sight

They annoy me in technic beams already.
If we don't complain, there will be more cases for sure

On many (most?) pieces these days the sprue mark is on a stud - definitely the
case for 2x1 inverted slopes now, for example.

I saw these slopes and I wondered if TLG resurrected an old mold.

Could be, or they reused old inventory.

A possibility, though they're dark bluish gray so they couldn't be that
old.
