1903, made 1918, Raritan refurb and 1943 barrel...was this a USMC WWII rifle?

Could be a marine rifle, The large Serif lettered RA-P cartouche looks like one I had on a rock island marine rifle. Never had seen one stamped like that before, could be a very early one. Your rifle isnt in the SRS database but is in a good range. Better pictures may help.
