New Zealand Lend-Lease Remington 1903s

[tristan]

I recently purchased an early Remington 1903, SN 3,016,xxx, with all early features. The rifle has New Zealand Lend-Lease markings on the butt of the stock. An unadvertised extra was the CAI import markings near the muzzle. I was wondering if anyone on the forum has the backstory on how the rifles were repatriated from NZ to the US. I have read the interesting tale of the Red Star Remington 1903s on this forum and others, but I can't remember seeing anything similar for any NZ repatriationsAttachment 92348Attachment 92349.
