"Split Top" is a top recut line that deviates from the original line at the end. This is pair with a lovely split top on the left stamp. I believe these are 53-54L. 53L is double cut at the bottom but unfortunately this example's margin is too tight to see that feature.

I think you are correct. In addition to the recuts, the stamp on the left looks like it has a plating mark between Ornaments A and B like 53L, and the two are spaced fairly wide apart but vertically even (per Neinken p. 113).
