There should be marks on the black plastic end of the stick.
The stick is considered a "tool", not a part that stays in the dipstick tube while driving like on previous transmissions.
It is quite long as it is used for vehicles with longer tubes, let me guess that possibly the .6 was used in the Sprinter for example, which might have a longer tube so this shop tool would be able to reach the bottom of that tube as well.
The stick should bottom out at the pan, I've never heard of one going down and sliding across the inside of the pan. The fluid level should be somewhere on the plastic, if it slid I would say the fluid would be on the flexible portion of the stick.
