That's the RH3 fingerplate - not the D key (a vague term that needs to be dropped as it can mean both anything and nothing at the same time). This one has the automatic D#-E trill mechanism whereby the Eb pad cup will close when RH3 is released when doing a D#-E trill using the LH Eb key.

It's had the banana key removed and the pillar holes filled in as it's had a LH C# key added, so those are most likely scratches or open vessels on the surface of the wood. Even if it was a crack (and not very likely in that location) it's hardly an issue and easy enough to deal with - it's just cosmetic (like the filled in pillar holes) and won't have any impact on the playability.
