Hard to tell for sure if they are stress cracks.
It looks more to me like markings to give a idea where he had to cut the frame. Maybe he used a soapstone to mark his notch out area?

That little notch will hurt absolutely nothing. It looks like either soapstone or scratches from installation or something.
