Stock plate stamp

[Lithgow_1919]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why they stamped the stock plate on the Lithgow 1919 SHT.LE MKIII* with a number. My mates has one but mine doesn't. See attched pic. Not of ours just something I found while researching.

Looks like a rack number to me...

rifle rack number, every place that took on enfields would have their own, hence even duplicated numbers.
