These markings are on the top, directly under the rear handguard. The faint crossed cannons can be seen upper left in the picture frame. Except for what looks like a "V" type symbol at the oprod...

The finish on my rifle looks like both that are posted but I guess I never really thought of the finish as thin. Mine is a parkized greyish finish which looks like the same as yours. Good luck on...
