If it's a KS sprocket from the "guys overseas" source that swore up and down to me that there were no difference in size between the KS and ES sprockets it will be interesting to see if it's a sloppy fit or not.
I got a handful of KS sprockets and they all were a sloppy fit on the splines of a ES and a Hitchcock's crank. I ended up removing gears off of ES sprockets for both of em.

This might be one of those things that you really need a box of a hundred sprockets and find the one that fits just right on your crank.

Let me know how it turns out.

We'll know in a week or two.... i'll keep you posted. I noticed that it was listed in the catalog for ES bikes only vs sprockets listed for KS only. If not i'll just throw the chewed one back in there

Got it today and...... its sloppy! I knew as soon as i saw it was  wrapped in the typical RE spares  wrapped that it would have slop..... oh well time to get an ES sprocket and have it turned down. I'm getting a nice collection of sprockets over here

Yes there is a difference in the two sprockets. I had thought I would have been able to use my KS sprocket also but after close examination I saw there was really just to much play. As far as your sprocket goes I would probably use it as is, the gouge doesn't really look that deep compared to what's left.

When I did mine I received a cut down ES sprocket in exchange for my original and there was slop, had to get mine cut and returned..  I think they have a big bin of sprockets in the factory and they just run through em til they get one that fits..  I would use your original and not worry about it.

I will if the ES sprocket coming doesn't fit

I plan to switch cranks next year at some point....probably have to go through this whole thing again!
