Looks like someone getting extra mileage out of the dimension origin symbol.

The parting line symbol has straight lines and doesn't require arrows.

No. This is a dimension origin symbol. Parting line symbol is supposed to be diamond-shaped.

We have always used this type of symbol for a parting line for our casting for years. I never have looked into it. Thanks for the correction Jassco

It is nonmandatory that every company must conform to any particular standard system.

Maybe they "upgraded" the origin symbol because it felt convenient. I always say, ask the one who's signature is in the title block.
