L4a5 Bren markings

[mattgunguy]

How were the Royal Navy L4a5 Bren guns marked?

I'm just about finished rebuilding a L4a3 that ended up with a Mk2 charging handle instead of the folding Mk1. It's my understanding that the Royal Navy used some L4 Bren guns with the Mk2 charging handle. Since the center of section of this gun did not originally go with the rear section with the markings, I'd like to know how it should be marked before it goes to the engraver to have the serial number put back in place.

Additionally. How were the barrels marked? I ended up with an Indian made L4 barrel & am thinking about having it remarked as well. Serialized if nothing else.

Thank you.
