The New Zealand M1903 rifles were all early WW2 Remington production and were imported for RNZAF use (guarding airfields, etc) and later for Home Guard use. A complete range of spare parts was supplied as well, many of which still turn up here from an old sports shop which bought the spares at the end of the war (also M17 parts in the same deal). Apart from a few that 'fell off the back of trucks', all of the M1903's and the 66 Air Force/Home Guard M1917A1 Brownings were returned to the US after the war. I have seen quite a few over the years and they have mostly been marked N^Z. I have only seen one marked NZ^D. None of them had red bands on the stock. Most of the examples in NZ have poor barrels because of hard use and corrosive ammo.
