Savage Enfield with Odd Cartouche "P"

[Andisjjw]

Hello all,
I have inherited an oddity. I have a Savage No. 4 MK I. Stamped US Property and all of the other fun stories that lie within its stamping. The stock, forearm and hand guard have a capital "P" in them.
Does anybody here know what they represent or is this just another wartime beautification to the rifle?
Thank you kindly.

If someone beautified their rifle like that and it came into our Armourers shop, we'd be doing a bit of bum-kicking! Saw ornate carvings on New Zealand L1A1's issued to Maoris.

Similar to the W.T. that is branded in the butt of one of my No. 4 Mk2's.
School identifier, perhaps? Answers lost to time......

I had a '94 saddle ring carbine with a ranch brand in the stock, forearm and receiver. This is the same. Nothing important.
