It is curious, and I can only speculate that somewhere way back, a mistake was made where the A was struck instead of a B. Or... rifle 5139A had its bolt swapped with rifle 5132B. If you can provide a closer, higher resolution pic of the bolt, perhaps others can weigh in. If is smells like cold-blue, then you know it's been messed with.

Either way, I'd be happy to own it.
I will take a pic with my DSLR with magnifier attachment. I don't detect cold blue. Unfortunately I have on other rifles. If anything there is some light surface rust. I thought maybe renumbered, but they didn't change Suffix? Not sure if armourer would do that. I will also take a closer look myself.
