Thanks giove, that's where I was heading.
I've had a previous identificaiton odne by a very helful Hebrew speaking fellow who knows a little of the IDF history and small arms.
Here are some photos in that enquiry:
I think they're similar, but not quite the same.
I'll need some more information from someone with better knowledge of Hebrew and the IDF, I think.

IDF had various stamps on metal. I don't think there is any chance to specifically assign one variant of those to something particular like a specific unit.

Thank you, that is quite a fair thing to expect. Perhaps I was too loose with my suggested words. I wasn't intending it like the specifics of butt disk markings that the British Army used to specify Units. Was thinking more like the division between Services? You can tell my Hebrew is as good as my conversational Lithuanian....
I think I might start another thread, focusing on the Israeli connection to see if we can flush out some people with good knowledge of the IDF's early days...
