I believe this indicates that this page was photographed. Back then, pages were "statted" on a copystand with a mounted camera. When this was done they said the page was "shot" meaning photographed to make negatives for the printing process. So my guess is that EO is the camera person's initials and "shot" means its been photographed for production.
Interesting glyph on the back
What's that say? "SHOT EO" maybe.... Who would've put that there?

Brother eye
Tom, could it be that EO is short for Electro-Optic instead of a name?
Re: Brother eye
Definitely could be. It would be a more technical reason for sure.
