These are ownership marks of various units. 1QR could be Quebec Rifles or 171st. Battalion and 567 is the rack number of the rifle.
COTC is the Canadianicon Officer Training Corps.
MG over 371 is and interesting one. There is a dent to the left of the M in MG. Is there a letter there? This is rifle rack number 371 of a Machine Gun Regiment.
