My Winchester, S/N 5,742,xxx was produced in Oct., 1944. Hope this helps.

My guess with no books here at the shop.
A 1,06 mil WRA would have been spring of 43.

CC #326-5 has the last Winchester SN# recorded in April 1943 as being 1,067,740. CC #337-5 has a daily count with the final number being 1,088,870. If the daily count chart is correct, your carbine was built on April 9,1943. Either way April '43 is the month.
