I just purchased an M1icon Garand to complete my WWII battle rifles collection, and was doing some research into the lineage of the parts based on the drawing numbers.

It is a SA April 1942 receiver with a SA 1952 barrel. The drawings numbers for the bolt and trigger housing are correct for the 1942 receiver date.

I can't seem to determine the time frame during which the hammer and operating rod were made. The hammer is numbered SA C5546008. The Op rod is numbered is D35382 SA. From the websites I've looked at regarding drawing numbers, it almost seems like some digits are missing. Here are the pics. Can anyone help me out?
