The line from the license says (in part):

"(d)"Open Game Content" means the game mechanic and ... clearly identified
as Open Game Content by the Contributor..."

If you don't identify something as Open Game Content, and it's not a
derivative work of something that is, then that material is not OGC.

Product Identity refers to material that >otherwise< would be Open Game
Content if it were not otherwise excluded.
