Garand Rack Numbers- 8-1944 DOB

[Leggett71]

Recently acquired a 8-44 garand with duplicate rack stamped numbers on the butt & on the forearm belly. Have seen the numbers mentioned in posts and photos but am wondering if there is any way teh numbers can tie into the history of the rifle. What unit it was issued to, theater, etc. Anyone have any references or expert knowledge on Rack number significance?
