During the 22nd century invasion of Earth, the Daleks made notices around London locations with uncertain meaning. (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)

All Daleks from a post-Last Great Time War era had markings below the eyepiece.

While the exact purpose of these marking is unknown, they may be either a form of identification or rank insignia.
