Rick, It was advanced collectors like Ed Byrns and Tom Belbey that told me about the AT 21 being the USS Bagaluce as I am not an advanced 1903 collector -

Still not convinced, but thanks for clarifying that.

This is mine. But it just has no correlation to anything I can find. It is on a documented Marine rifle to an Anti Aircraft BN in the 2nd Marine Brigade in 1938.
But it's a CD 3 and it really doesn't make any sense. There is also a TU and another number that was sanded off, and the CD 3 was applied over it.
But the T is even the same font as the T in your AT 21. But I just don't think this stock has anything to do with the Marines. I think it was recycled, or it was applied after it left the Marines. It is a single bolt JFC highwood with no other markings.
I've tried to figure it out for years.

I mentioned earlier I don't think these markings were done by the Marines and documents like this one is why I don't think they were. I just see documents like this time and time again saying nothing should be done to the stocks other than a wipedown of linseed oil.
But if you read the middle part it says that no altercations can be done without Approval, and there is just nothing in the files about them stamping them. I will never say I'm not wrong. But I just think I would have found it by now if they did it. But this is from the Marine Detachment on the USS Pennsylvania in 1936.
