yeah to verify that some more, http://www.astecuk.com/aluminium_rolled_prod.html
lists their DIAMONDBITE TREADPLATE ALLOY 3003-H22 to be like



however, http://fzxrangxrn.en.alibaba.com/product/50100143/50446835/Aluminum_Tread_Plate_Coil/Aluminum_Tread_Plate___Coil.html
lists their 3003 H24 to be like


so does the manufacturer change what kind of treads the tread plate has? Hmm

Typically, I believe the upper one is just called "diamond plate" and the lower one is called "5 bar tread plate" (no reference to diamonds) I'm guessing it is the upper one. Those are the two most common styles and probably the only two carried by Home Depot. Any other styles are probably not it. I'm no even sure if Home Depot carries the 5 bar. I'm thinking is will be just your standard diamond plate.
