    The cocking piece is "Type 4, headless", which was was used at ~200,000 but discontinued after serial number ~285,000.
    How is it being sold? Is he advertising it as an all-correct collectors item? or a refurbished rifle?
    The initial left of the cartouche indicates a possible arsenal refurbishment/rebuild which may account for the headless cocking piece being swapped in, but I think those were always 3 letter initials. Others on this forum know far more than me will surely chime in soon.
    EDIT: to be more clear, the headless bolt was used on both rifles and carbines in the ranges indicated above.
