Now here is question #?.
On the underside of the stock, behind the trigger group, there are two 'P'.
Top .5" non -serifed
Bottom .25" serifed
Neither in a circle, the smaler is faded almost completely, the larger still has a faint stamped impression in the wood.
There is also an offset 'X' and 'O' on the heel.
Apologies for the poor pictures.

They almost look like a soldiers idle markings. Well, I am going to assume that this (with the 'X' and 'O') is some Greek arsenal rebuild or a Greek στρατιώτης
carving his girlfriends initials into his stock.

Well, some mysteries solved.
The 'F' marked safety is a later IHC according to Scott Duff's book on post WWII M1's.
The 'LUX' marked elevation pinion is a subcontractor: The LUX Clock Mfg. Company, Inc., Waterburry, Conn. USA
. According to RollingThunder from the CMP
board.
The stock is definetely an SA, but has been worked over and repaired during refit at least once or twice.
So, I am back to a mixmaster, but at least an USGI mixmaster.
The best part is that I got some Winchester brass and was able to make some rounds for her today! I will get to test her out Sunday AM!
