Can't see any tooling marks to suggest it's a facemill or shell mill.
I think it's flycut

We will await @Johnnybravo 's reply with the definitive answer, Personally I would have used either (or whatever was nearest) to try to keep the heat down. A million passes with a small endmill would be very counter productive.

Neither actually
Clocked the head so it was exactly perpendicular to the bed in both planes. Then wizzed a pinzerbor boring head over the top. It uses a triangular insert with pretty no much relief, so if your cutter isn’t exactly perpendicular it rubs a goodun. When set up correctly you get a sublime finish as it cuts on entry and exit. It’s a much better fly cutter than a boring head.
A lot of people get what they think is a good finish by deliberately inclining the head slightly. All fine and well if it’s cosmetic only, but your plate comes out dished,not flat
