    Buttstock markings on my No 5

    My newly acquired Faz 1944 No 5 carbine has had the stock refinished (DARN IT) but most of the markings on the left side of the buttstock are readable. I would imagine that they are unit markings. If anyone could help iI would appreciate it. Sorry for the poor photo.
