Lee Enfield markings

Could there be a connection between Force Publique (Monaco). and the FPM marks on my rifle?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Monagasque Force Publique, see Force Publique (Monaco).
The Force Publique (French for "Public Force") was a gendarmerie and military force in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 1885, (when the territory was known as the Congo Free State), through the period of direct Belgian colonial rule (1908 to 1960). After independence, the FP was retitled as the Congolese National Army or ANC.
During World War II (1939-1945), the Force Publique provided detachments to fight the German and Italian forces during the East Africa Campaign and in the Middle East. Belgium surrendered to Germany on 28 May 1940. With Belgium occupied, the contribution to the Allied cause by the Free Belgian Forces from the Belgian Congo was primarily an economic one. However the Force Publique grew to 40,000 in the course of the War, formed into three brigades, a river force and support units.[5
