[Cletus.D.Yokel]

First letter is right above the “E” in dead body

More a drawing or “rune” than a letter?

[Steve Van Doorn]

The second letter is the easiest to see. It's above the end of the "E" in "DEAD" looks to me like the rune letter
bent to the right.
But it has a line under it like it was an "R"
Ancient Greek that was the letter Resh or the original R sound pounced rēš or Rho (rolling the tongue.)
Ancient Greek there was some use of the line under it but they rounded the lettering it wasn't the triangle shape. It could be a artistic way to use both Runic and the R.
