Variant in text on civil war denarius, but what exactly?!

[Coinmaster]

I can need some help with my research on coins from the civil war in 68 AD. This denarius supposed to read on the obverse: SERV GALBA IMP. But that's not what it says. You can read GALBA below the horse and perhaps SER behind the horse. But what else?
It's this coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces244838.html (better visible on this aureus: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces244837.html).
Thanks for your oppinion/suggestions!

Could it be a  "IMPERATOR" instead if "IMP"  like on this:

The letters behind the horse, before the "SER" look like "OR" and on the LEU example the "SER" would be out of flan, so possibly "SER GALBA IMPERATOR"

That's it @shanxi!! Great work on spotting this word, many thanks!

This makes it yet another nice new variant of this coin type!

Aligns well with my earlier related thread on a 68 AD Galba civil war denarius from Tarraco, Spain:

Very nice coin! There is no proof of a Tarraco production. See my reaction in your topic. 👍🏻
