sickle mower knife identification

I assume you are referring to the knife sections, not the entire knife. Sections are the individual parts that are usually 3 inches wide. The knife is the assembly of sections on a bar and is approximately the length of the cutter bar.
IH made a variety of sections for different conditions. Nearly any model mower can use any of the sections. When replacing individual sections, they usually need to be replaced with sections that match the rest on that mower. Knives may interchange between mower models but need to be the proper length for the cutter bar.

Are there any markings or letter/numbers on the sections? A common one for the Cub is a B-.
Yes, that is an IH logo followed by the part number MA139. MA139 is the part number of the individual part with the ball. If the missing section on the end were replaced, it would have 18 sections which makes it a 4-1/2 foot knife. It fits virtually any IH mower with a 4-1/2 foot cutter bar. Cub mowers were typically either 4-1/2 or 5 feet.

That will fit the Cub 22 Mower, and others. Looks like it might be missing one knife section on the end.
