It looks ferrite to me.

ferrite/ceramic, no doubt

Ceramic increase strength better by greater diameter, and less by thickness
Always seen as discs
Which is why dislike doubling magnets

Alnico increase strength better by the length, which is why alicos are never large diameter, and often longer than wide
