"HYDRO 6061" aluminum?

I bought it off of eBay.

Does that look like 6061 aluminum?
Maybe buying a longer piece would expose more of the name.
No big deal, unless maybe I buy more.
Thanks.

quite a bit actually. I test upwards 100 tons of metal assays via photos across the internet a year. Customers include boeing, coca-cola walmart and Ford.
