Default Is my flexplate rebuilt?

Owner of a 2014 Z51, I have rattle/torque tube issue

The torque tube center cap is recessed far more than the advised 6mm
  • Has it been rebuilt already (markings) ?
  • Is that a LT1 or LT4 flexplate?
  • Is it still advised to replace LT1 plate with an LT4 when doing torque tube?
