Why do some of the old bear bows have these on them?

Do you mean where it says #45xx @ 28" ?
If so, I've understood that to mean two pounds over 45. One pound per x. If they're on the other side of the number then it's minus that many x's/pounds.

With the old bears that have the XX's, if you look under the strikeplate the actual draw weight will be written on the bow.

No, they are actual stars and sometimes crosses. Scratched/cut into the riser just above or directly on the serial number.

I would post this ? in the Trad History/Collecting forum.  You are sure to get a knowledgable answer there.

Sounds like something a previous owner did. If that's the case then there is no telling what the meaning is.
Can you put up pictures?

Look at the 64 Kodiak on this page, the fifth item for sale down the page as an example.
