Has anybody seen similar markings on a stock like these?

Augusta Arsenal used the H 2 behind inspector initials. I have seen the R 2 and believe it is an inspection stamp

Thank you, as always, for your knowledge! Do you happen to have any photographs of a similar R 2 or the H 2 AA markings? And would it be safe to assume that these are postwar markings? Compared to the condition of the stock and the wartime cartouches, they definitely look like they were stamped at a later time.

Here is photos of an early SA SPG stock converted to the trapdoor butt plate configuration, note that also made two equal sized holes. The original stock has the large over small hole and they took the time to convert it. The P in a square proof is late into post war period too

Don't mean to revive a rather old thread, but I was going through my collection of GCA journals when I found this memorandum from the 505th Parachute Infantry, dated April 13, 1944


While obviously an I and not a U, the stampings look identical and are in the same exact spot on my rifle as in the diagram. Could this possibly be what the rifle stamping represents?
