Those codes beneath the WD arrow are inspection markings that come after the 'stage-inspection' markings that follow the item through its various processes in the factory
Peter,

Not sure where you are going with this. The answer to your question has been answered. It has been skimmed and remarked. This bayonet has been authenticated by three individuals now, one of them being the "expert" on the type. If you need further answers as to why, I suggest contacting Graham Priest as he is the individual who discovered the variation and published his findings on them.
