Keystone provided stocks to Remington for original production as well as for spare parts. A spare parts stock would not have the factory inspection stamps unless they were counterfeits.
The bayonet band (parkerized) may be a replacement. Most of the originals were blued. However this rifle is one on the last A4's assembled and som parkerized parts may have been used.
The inspection marks look sort of fresh and typically there is a sub-inspectors stamp next to the "P" proof mark.
All in all I would say you did very well.
