The red stamp, as near as I have been able to make it out says;
"UNIVAC DEFENSE" around the circumference
"82" in the circle
"MAR 30 1967" in the line
(along with the violet stamp of "25" in a circle)

Those are QA stamps from board manufacturing. Wow, where the heck did
your friend find these?! I think that is an amazing, incredible score.
I'd say it's likely that many of us have boards and systems that were
stamped by THOSE stamps!

Proper and unique history there, keep and make sure the conditions they
are kept in maintain the rubber.
I have something similar when I collected the contents of a technical
library (Joseph Lucas, Birminham)
trade mark printing blocks for the documentation, copper on wood
mostly with one being zinc.
